Come
As
You
Aren't
Ball
Born from Lookingglass Theatre Company's deep love of transformation, storytelling, and the artistry of design, the Come As You Aren't Ball invites guests to step into a world where imagination leads the way.
Rooted in the company's decades of boundary-pushing theatrical work, the Ball was created as a celebration of character, creativity, and community. Guests are encouraged to let a character's costume from the company's extensive production library influence their attire for the evening.
