Lookingglass Theatre Extends BIG LAKE BIG CITY Through 8/25

By:
Due to popular demand, Lookingglass Theatre Company announces additional dates for the World Premiere production of Big Lake Big City, written by Keith Huff and directed by Ensemble Member David Schwimmer. As part of the company's 25th Anniversary Season, the production will run for an additional two weeks, now through August 25, 2013, at Lookingglass Theatre Company, located inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave. at Pearson.

Detective Bass can't catch a break: his boss is a hard-ass, his partner's a knucklehead, his wife's a cheat and now he's chasing a perp who has a screwdriver in his head. An eclectic set of shady characters - crooked coroners, a TV-personality doctor, a femme fatale, and one extraordinarily valuable sculpture - run roughshod through a hilarious maze of double-crosses and double-identities in this love letter to the underbelly of the Windy City. Don't miss this gritty modern noir thriller from 2011 Writers Guild Award-winner Keith Huff directed by Ensemble Member David Schwimmer (Trust, Race, The Jungle).

The cast of Big Lake Big City includes Ensemble Members Thomas J. Cox (Divot and others), Anthony Fleming III (Moss and others) and Philip R. Smith (Bass); Kareem Bandealy (Peter and others), Katherine Cunningham (Ally), Danny Goldring (Getz), Beth Lacke (Susan), Eddie Martinez(Stewart), J. Salome Martinez (Trent and others) and Wendy Mateo (Maria).

The creative team for Big Lake Big City includes Sibyl Wickersheimer (Scenic), Ana Kuzmanic (Costumes), Artistic Associate Christine A. Binder(Lighting), Artistic Associate Rick Sims (Sound/Composition), Maria DeFabo (Props). Narda E. Alcorn is the Production Stage Manager and Tess Golden is the Assistant Stage Manager.
