Sunset 1919 Returns
On July 27, 1919, Eugene Williams, a Black teenager, was killed for crossing into segregated waters on Lake Michigan. Each year we have gathered to honor Eugene’s memory, acknowledging our Indigenous roots and creating a space for Black artists to merge Movement, Music, and Word in a free, spirit-guided annual community art ritual.

“I could not be more excited about our 2025 – 2026 season. Ensemble Members Matthew C. Yee (White Rooster) and Kevin Douglas (Untitled Vampire Play) are two brilliant playwrights, each with a genius knack for dark humor. And Ensemble Member Heidi Stillman directs our Young Ensemble this season, providing the next generation of theatre makers with expert training in physical and imaginative storytelling that Lookingglass is known for. Join us!”
