Lookingglass Theatre Company’s triumphant return to the stage!
Somewhere in La Mancha there lived a man who read so many books that his brains dried up…Saddle up with Lookingglass as they go tiltingly, acrobatically into the dreamy madness of Don Quixote and his impossible folly-filled quest to bring good-deed doing back into the world— whether the world wants it or not!
Premiering in Chicago January 30 – March 30, 2025 and launching for subsequent touring in Spring 2026.
