Looking Glass Theatre

Building an intergenerational community

Our primary mission is to continue building an intergenerational community with families and individuals who, as part of their personal ministry, enjoy sharing and presenting performing arts. We entertain, emote, inform, challenge, develop, improve, question and explore the meanings of who we are and what it means to be human in these times. We are one of the church’s longest ongoing community outreach programs.
Looking Glass Theatre presents
an all digital production!

The Edge of Noir
This  20-minute short play follows night-desk journalist Rocky Rockford and his PI contact as they try to solve a gem heist, because breaking the story could launch Rocky's career to the next level.

Looking Glass Theatre History

We opened in 1986 with only one project in mind, an antinuclear, faith affirming musical allegory, “Alice in Blunderland”. After two years of performing throughout Southern California, including the General Assembly in Palm Springs, the group felt challenged to mount another production. We now average three shows per year.

​LGT presented the Southern California premieres of an adaptation of Stud Thekel’s “The Good War” and Rose & Conlon’s “Yanomamo”, the rainforest musical. This play had featured Sir David Attenborough in the original recording. Filmed as “ Song of the Forest,” the show featured the popular singer, Sting.

In recent years, LGT has performed Broadway favorites such as “Music Man”, “Wizard of Oz”, “Oklahoma!”, Ayn Rand’s “Night of January 16th”, Shaw’s “Androcles and the Lion” and “Fiddler on the Roof”.

On March 3, 2003, the group participated in the staged reading of “Lysistrata”. This coincided with other theater groups in the United States as well as in some seventy other countries all performing this play on the same day.

The group has performed “Speak Truth to Power”, the adapted narration of people from around the world who promoted justice and were tortured. This ran in concurrence with the touring photo exhibit at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park in 2003.

​LGT has created many of its own musical variety shows. It has produced concert venues for local singers such as Chris Hassett, Peggy Watson, Debra Liv Johnson and Sam Hinton. Members of the group perform liturgical theater on occasion in conjunction with the Sunday morning services.

Leadership

The group is managed by a Steering Committee with Gay Hybertsen serving as Chair and LGT maintains a roster of over one hundred active members who have been involved with recent productions.
