Our Town David Schwimmer

Tickets for Lookingglass Theatre Company's production of Our Town by Thornton Wilder and directed by 2008 Tony Award-winning Steppenwolf Ensemble Member Anna D. Shapiro and Steppenwolf Artistic Associate Jessica Thebus, will be on sale to the public beginning at 10:00am on Friday, January 16, 2009. 

The production will run February 11 - April 5, 2009, at Lookingglass Theatre Company's home inside Chicago's historic Water Tower Water Works at 821 N. Michigan Ave and will star David Schwimmer.

Schwimmer, long associated with Lookingglass, starred as Ross on TV's "Friends" and appeared in the recent Broadway production of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. He will take on the role of George Gibbs in the production of Our Town.

The citizens of Grover's Corners share the ultimate tale of community in this American classic. The Lookingglass Ensemble will infuse the play with a singular chemistry you won't see anywhere else. In the hands of these renowned artists, Thornton Wilder's masterpiece will be disarmingly beautiful, utterly compelling and painfully funny.

Cox (Ensemble), Christine Mary Dunford (Mrs. Webb), Laura Eason (Emily Webb), Raymond Fox (Ensemble), David Catlin (Dr. Gibbs), David Kersnar (Simon Stimson),  Heidi Stillman (Mrs. Gibbs), Tracy Walsh (Ensemble), and Andrew White (Mr. Webb), and Artistic Associates Kevin Douglas (Ensemble) and Louise Lamson (Rebecca Gibbs).
