Item Description
Imagine the perfect Wednesday, Thursday or Friday summer night in June or July...
First grab a quick bite with your $50 certificate at D4 Irish Pub & Cafe.
Great food at a great price. Would you like to start with a flat bread pizza ($9), a D4 Angus Beef Burgers ($12) with Irish Cheddar and Fried Onion Curls, a corned beef sandwich ($15) and a couple of Guiness Irish Stouts?
Sounds delicious!
Then take a short stroll over to the Lookingglass Theater.
Then enjoy your two (2) tickets to the Lookingglass Theater for Eastland.

July 24, 1915
Moored on the Chicago River between Clark St and LaSalle, The Eastland begins boarding and thousands of Western Electric employees and their families climb the ramp, excited for their annual company outing. Overflowing with passengers about to depart, the boat leans port – and doesn’t lean back. Within minutes, cries fill the air, families are torn apart and unexpected heroes emerge to rescue dozens of Chicagoans from a watery end.
Artistic Director Andrew White (Of One Blood, 1984) resurrects the ghosts of America’s forgotten tragedy in this Lookingglass Original musical, with music by Artistic Associate Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman, the team behind the score of Lookingglass Alice, 1984, Metamorphoses, Hard Times, and The Secret in the Wings, as well as the acclaimed Winesburg, Ohio. Directed by Amanda Dehnert (Peter Pan: A Play).
Inspired in part by Jay Bonansinga's The Sinking of the Eastland: America's Forgotten Tragedy
Eastland is the recipient of the Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award.
Dates Valid: June 6-July 29, 2012 (Valid for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday performances only).
Not valid for Opening Night Performance.
