Few theaters in this great theatertown have gone to as great oflengths over the years to dazzle andamaze audiences as the venerableLookingglass Theatre Company.But fantastic sets and high-wire actsaren’t the only way to get the heartof a theatergoer pumping – some-times a powerful story alone can doit.

This summer, Lookingglass is divingdeep into the divided heart of Ameri-can culture and show business for adaring cavalcade of slapstick, songand dance in the new productionThaddeus and Slocum: A Vaude-ville Adventure. Set in 1908, yeteerily timely, playwright Kevin Dou-glas’ Chicago-set story explores thedynamic between two friends – oneblack and one white – who risk every-thing to make it to the top together.

The Lookingglass Theatre is at 821N. Michigan. Tickets for Thaddeusand Slocum ($50-$60) are availableat 312.337.0665.
