favorite Lookingglass memory: The night (or a few nights) before the new theatre was to open to the public, all available ensemble members - and some via cell phone - arrived at the main stage for a midnight meeting. It was a chance for us to stand together for a few minutes, look around the room and imagine the exciting things we were about to do there and to say goodbye to all we had done. Some of us read passages from plays, books or poetry and others prepared little speeches - everyone had a moment. Interestingly, we all spoke in very hushed tones, like we were in a library or a temple or a church or something. It couldn't have lasted more than fifteen minutes or so. I will never forget it.
