The Looking Glass Theatre is dedicated
to reflecting life on the stage with truth and
theatricality while exploring a female vision. While the question of the status of women is politically charged, our goal as a theater company is to give our audience aesthetic bliss through the discovery of the female voice, to share with them the delight of releasing a voice that has been (and in some cases still remains) suppressed.
To the same extent that theater history and the contemporary market have discouraged, limited and even excluded women,
the theater community
and the cultural community at large have suffered a loss of pleasure, excitement, fascination and enlightenment.
To combat this loss, we first try to offer female artists a place to explore their own methods and voices without having to worry aboutthe demands of the market. Second, we present exciting plays by women of the past and present that might not reach the public otherwise, as well as rethinkings of the classics by visionary female directors.
