White Rooster
From the weird brain of Matthew Yee comes White Rooster, a story of love, grief, and eternal hunger. When a daughter makes plans to leave her haunted hometown, the ghosts of the past conspire to keep her around just a little longer. Equal parts Chinese mythology, western Americana, and gothic folk-rock, White Rooster is a wild journey into a town that time forgot, where everyone is hungry for something, and no one can be sure who is dead and who is alive.

“I could not be more excited about our 2025 – 2026 season. Ensemble Members Matthew C. Yee (White Rooster) and Kevin Douglas (Untitled Vampire Play) are two brilliant playwrights, each with a genius knack for dark humor. And Ensemble Member Heidi Stillman directs our Young Ensemble this season, providing the next generation of theatre makers with expert training in physical and imaginative storytelling that Lookingglass is known for.
