On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidkes goes behind the scenes of Steppenwolf Theatre’s highly anticipated world premiere musical LINDIWE. The acclaimed Chicago theatre company collaborated with the Grammy-winning vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo to create the new production. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will stop by to talk about a new musical inspired by the real-life Slenderman incident that captured the country’s attention five years ago. A little later in the program, Gary talks to Daily Herald editor Sean Stangland about the surge in streaming TV options. And Gary sits down with vocalist Joan Curto to learn more about an upcoming salute to Sondheim concert.
