Congratulations to Chicago Tony Award Winners!

Sunday, June 15, 2008 was a big night for Chicago theatre.

Not only did Chicago Shakespeare take home the Tony Award for Regional Theatre, but the Broadway production of Steppenwolf Theatre Company's August: Osage County won Best Play, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play, Best Featured Actress in a Play and Best Scenic Design.

The award we are most excited about, of course, is Anna D. Shapiro winning Best Director of a Play. We are honored to have Anna come to Lookingglass in the spring of 2009. She will co-direct our production of Our Town along with Jessica Thebus. The production will feature Ensemble Members Thomas J. Cox, Christine Mary Dunford, Laura Eason, Raymond Fox, David Catlin, David Kersnar, David Schwimmer, Joey Slotnick, Heidi Stillman, Tracy Walsh, and Andrew White with Artistic Associate Louise Lamson.

Designers include Ensemble Member John Musial (scenic design) and Artistic Associate Andre Pluess (sound design), with Janice Pytel (costume design), J.R. Lederle (lighting design) and Kevin O’Donnell (music composition). The production stage manager will be Artistic Associate Sara Gmitter and the assistant stage manager will be Production Affiliate Patia Bartlett.
