More information on Lookingglass Theater

While Friends star David Schwimmer is perhaps the most famous member of the theater company, no one in this troupe could be accused of riding on Schwimmer's coattails. Shortly after graduation in 1989, the students formed the company in 1989. Now, over 30 premieres, four Joseph Jefferson Awards and 26 Joseph Jefferson citations later, the theater is still going strong. Past productions included The Idiot, Metamorphosis and Her Name Was Danger. While the group's front office is located in the historic Athenaeum Theatre building, it currently has no permanent performance space. Instead, productions are staged at various locales throughout Chicago.
