If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm hostility. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Upcoming Events
Icarus at the Lookingglass Theatre
Join the Raven flock as we lift off with Artistic Director David Catlin (Lookingglass Alice) in this World Premiere Lookingglass Original. Using myth, visual metaphor, song and gravity-defying choreography, Icarus explores a father's need to have his child succeed, the psychological desire to take to the air, and the dizzying despair of falling.
