WELCOME TO LOOKING GLASS THEATRE!
We are delighted to share our adventure with you. Come with us through the Looking Glass to see a truer reflection of life and art.  Here you can learn ABOUT US and get detailed information on RENTALS and SPACE GRANTS and our CURRENT SHOW.

You'll find a wealth of programs and divisions to explore.  Our CHILDREN'S SHOW division has been very rewarding and successful.  The New York Times called Betsy Blue "a winning combination of silliness and wit" that is "always entertaining." nytheatre.com says, “Looking Glass Theatre deserves kudos for consistently programming affordable shows for families that really are produced and staged with the youngest theater-goers in mind.”

And our OFF NIGHT THEATRE is always a blast for everyone!

Read about how we develop the work of new writers and directors through productions in the WRITER/DIRECTOR FORUM and check out our ACTING INTERNSHIP if you or someone you know might be interested.

OUR MISSION

Reflecting Life on the Stage with Truth and Theatricality While Exploring a Female Vision

Our goal is to create a community of
artistic freedom:
freedom from the pressure to be commercial,
freedom from gender expectations and
freedom from judgment.
