    We keep our campers on their toes as they learn physical theatre skills like stage combat, juggling, stilt walking, and tumbling (skills subject to instructor)! Each afternoon, campers create original adaptations of stories inspired by Lookingglass productions. Mornings are spent at Lookingglass Theatre (821 N. Michigan Ave), while afternoons are spent at Lookingglass' rehearsal rooms, in our administrative offices at the John Hancock Center (875 N. Michigan Ave). At the end of each session, campers share their unique performance with friends and family on the Lookingglass Main Stage. Scholarships and payment plans are available.

    Lookingglass LAB II

    Students work intensively in the lookingglass style of play creation as they create a performance based on a single theme. Past themes have included responsibility, race, globalization, and education. Students combine research, interviews, and creative writing to construct an original piece, performed on the Lookingglass Main Stage. Lookingglass LAB will take place both in our theatre (821 N. Michigan Ave) and our rehearsal rooms in our administrative offices at the John Hancock Center (875 N. Michigan Ave). Both sessions require an audition. Please call 773-477-9257 x193 for more details.
