WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lewis Carroll's timeless classics Alice in Wonderland and Through the Lookingglass are given a topsy-turvy makeover in the surreal and stunning Lookingglass Alice. Adapted and directed by David Catlin, this unique production is performed in the round (on-stage seating available) and packed with theatrical wizardry, circus style stunts and surprises around every corner. Alice - that pugnacious explorer, demure deconstructionist, young woman unfazed by Jabberwock - must make her way across an illuminated chessboard by out-witting the Red Queen, out-chatting the Mad Hatter and out-maneuvering the bizarre but friendly Caterpillar. Filled with marvelous flights of fancy and a subtle whiff of wistfulness, Chicago's celebrated Lookingglass Theater Company delivers a trip down the rabbit hole "that is nothing short of brillig" (Chicago Sun-Times).
In addition to the regular schedule, two extra performances have been arranged for Wednesday, February 21. The first performance is set for 2:00 PM with a second performance that same day at 7:00 PM. The 7:00 PM show will feature a Talk Back after the performance.
The 7:00 PM show on Thursday, February 22 will feature a signed interpretation for any members of the audience that may be hearing-impaired.
The 7:00 PM show on Friday, February 23 will feature a Talk Back after the performance.
Recommended for ages 8 and above.

Daring acrobatics, fabulous costumes, and a genuine sense of wonder combine to make Lookingglass Alice a treat for both kids and adults. Adapted and directed by David Catlin for Chicago's acclaimed Lookingglass Theatre Company, this delightful production is now at the New Victory as part of its national tour.
Familiarity with Lewis Carroll's original stories is useful, but not absolutely necessary, as the piece definitely stands on its own merits. Lookingglass Alice skillfully combines elements from both of the author's well-known novels. The titular character falls down the rabbit hole as in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the basic structure of the piece is taken from Through the Lo[...]
