Stephen Colbert to Host Lookingglass Theatre's 'Gglassquerade'.

Lookingglass Theatre’s Board of Directors and Gala Committee announce one of Chicago’s highly anticipated events of the season, the 2013 Lookingglass gglassquerade, which will celebrate 25 years of ensemble collaboration, transformation and invention. Host Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, will be presented with the Lookingglass Civic Engagement Award at the event. gglassquerade will be held Saturday, March 2, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. at The Four Seasons, 120 East Delaware Place in Chicago.

“The fact that Stephen is uncannily brilliant, desperately funny, and irritatingly good-looking is not particularly important, or something we should hold against him (but we do so anyway),” quips Artistic Director Andrew White. “What is important is from his early days doing improv with Lookingglass founders at Northwestern to his current role as host of the award-winning show The Colbert Report, Stephen has been a great friend to Lookingglass and a champion of, and ambassador for, the City of Chicago. We are so pleased to have him as the host of our 25th Anniversary gglassquerade and to present to him the Lookingglass Civic Engagement Spirit Award.”
