Lookingglass Theater
Those looking to channel some creative energy after a visit to 360 Chicago don’t need to look much further than Chicago’s famed Lookingglass Theater. With a creative focus on the future of theater, visitors are in for some awe-inspiring performances that are only a three-minute walk south on The Magnificent Mile. This makes a great date night or a cultural activity for the entire family.
Founded in 1988 and located at 821 N. Michigan Avenue, the Lookingglass Theater has grown into one of the country’s most significant ensembles in the realm of cutting-edge theatrical works. Its innovative approach earned a Tony Award in 2011 for Outstanding Regional Theater.
The superior ensemble-based programming changes throughout the year and includes such notable world premieres as David Schwimmer’s adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, The Odyssey, and many other productions. This is a great place to visit for a one-of-a-kind theater experience that is not only unique to Chicago, but to the country!
