IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Our staff truly loved this magical experience with Lookingglass. You went above and beyond to create such a welcoming atmosphere, and we’re deeply grateful.

Kortnee Quiza , Arts Program Manager, Boys & Girls Club of Chicago

Our group loved Villette. The humanity and vulnerability in the performances were deeply moving. Bravo to the entire cast for such a beautiful show.

Wanda DeCwikiel-Avila , La Familia Unida

For many in our group, this was their first live theater experience. Being able to attend, discuss the plays, and meet the artists was a true gift. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
