World Premiere! Begins October 7, 2015

Adventure beckons when a mysterious

blind man delivers the dreaded Black Spot

to an aging sea captain, plunging an

innkeeper’s son armed with only his wits

into a desperate race for buried treasure

against a dastardly throng of cutthroat

pirates. Set sail with young Jim Hawkins,

Long John Silver and a crew of swashbuckling

rogues, as Treasure Island explodes like

a cannonball onto the stage regaling

thrill-seekers with a story both epic and

intimate, hilarious and harrowing.

Tony Award-winner Mary Zimmerman

(Metamorphoses) returns to helm

this glorious adaptation of Robert Louis

Stevenson’s most beloved novel.

Adapted and Directed by Ensemble Member

Robert Louis Stevenson

BLOOD

Begins March 2, 2016

Written by

Federico García LorcaTranslated by

Michael Dewell and Carmen Zapata

Directed by Ensemble Member

Daniel Ostling

When a young bride-to-be receives a visit

from a former paramour on her wedding

day, a long-buried family vendetta threatens

the celebration and sparks a deadly dance

of love and deception, beauty and betrayal.

Lorca—one of Spain’s most revered and

controversial dramatists—dared to pen

a seductive tale of passion and revenge in

a rural Spanish community, one that speaks

to any heart longing for true connection.

Lookingglass celebrates Lorca’s revolutionary

theatrical vision and this bold and timeless

work in an immersive experience lush with

music, movement, and poetic storytelling.

WEDDING

1631-X Brochure Final inside.indd 6-7 5/5/15 9:59 AM

Written by Ensemble Member

Kevin DouglasDirected by Ensemble Member

J. Nicole Brooks and Krissy Vanderwarker

It’s 1908 and Chicago’s Majestic Theatre

is the jewel of the vaudeville circuit. The

only thing stopping Thaddeus and Slocum

from becoming the next great stage act is

as simple—and complicated—as black and

white. Will laughter triumph and friendship

endure, or will racial boundaries destroy

their dreams of making the “big time?”

Lookingglass dives deep into the divided

heart of American show biz with a daring

cavalcade of slapstick, song and dance,

burlesque and bravery as two best friends

risk everything to make it to the top together.
