There’s an interesting article in the Arts And Living section of today’s Chicago Tribune that’s based on a candid interview theater critic Chris Jones did with former Friends star David Schwimmer. The major takeaway is that Schwimmer, a founding member of the critically acclaimed Lookingglass Theatre Company is actively involved in revitalizing it. “I decided I’m going to lean in and double down on Lookingglass,” he’s quoted as saying.
