As usual, Actors Theatre likes to kick off the season with something really special. This year they are bringing in Chicago’s inventive Lookingglass Theatre Company – a theatre troupe that combines dance, circus, choreography, clowning, storytelling, intense physicality and magnificent feats – to bring Alice in Wonderland to life. This Louis Carroll literary classic will be transformed on stage with mesmerizing circus arts, curious creatures, innovative props, dramatic lighting and dazzling special effects as Alice makes her journey through the looking glass.
This will be my pick for tickets to get. Once it opens and word gets around, tickets may be harder to find. Young and old alike are going to love this production!
