favorite Lookingglass memory: During the workshops for Master and Margarita we were in a loft on 16th street. There we learned magic. We built a fly system and worked with Sylvia Hernandez for the first time. It was a really exciting time rehearsing until late at night. This was back when day jobs didn't matter so much for us. Phil also celebrated his 30th birthday and we all bought him really bad ties.

Right up until the opening we continued exploring the magic tricks and how we were interacting with the set. It was one of those really exciting and raw theatre experiences.
