Current & Recent Productions

CIRCUS QUIXOTE - Lookingglass Theatre Company

Performances Jan. 30th-March 30th

Understudy

Somewhere in La Mancha there lived a man who read so many books that his brains dried up…Saddle up with Lookingglass as we go tiltingly, acrobatically into the dreamy madness of Don Quixote and his impossible folly-filled quest to bring good-deed doing back into the world— whether the world wants it or not!

THE CABINET - Cabinet of Curiosity

Presented as part of Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival

Performances Jan. 16th-19th

Ensemble performer

A spectacle in miniature, The Cabinet set the story of the murderous Dr. Caligari and his somnambulist slave Cesare in an off-kilter world of puppetry and intricate machinery. Inspired by the 1919 German Expressionist silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Cabinet creates a wild, abstract "cabinet of curiosities" in which five puppeteers manipulate and maneuver the characters and objects much as Caligari controls Cesare's plight.
