I'm thrilled to work with her, Lookingglass, and also with some of my favorite Chicago actors.

Lookingglass has built a national reputation for artistic excellence and
ensemble-based theatrical innovation. Notable world premieres include Mary
Zimmerman’s Tony Award-winning Metamorphoses, The Arabian Nights,
and The Odyssey, David Schwimmer’s adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s The
Jungle and Studs Terkel’s Race: How Blacks and Whites Think and Feel
about the American Obsession, and David Catlin’s circus tribute to Lewis
Carroll, Lookingglass Alice. Lookingglass’ work has been produced in more
