Lookingglass Theatre Company presents two world premiere productions created and performed by the Lookingglass Young Ensemble; both pieces deal with the theme of peaceful conflict resolution, a relevant subject to students in Chicago schools. The productions, written by a member of Lookingglass Theatre Company and the Young Ensemble, ages 8-18, are open to the public in the Lookingglass Studio, located inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave.
