Launch of Chicago Immersive + Look Inside Lightology
Gary Zidek

Happy Holidays! On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to the founders of a new Chicago theater company that will focus on creating immersive experiences. Chicago Immersive’s inaugural production is a holiday show titled GRACE AND THE HANUKKAH. A little later in the show, Gary revisits his conversation with the executive director of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, which has exhibitions and programming running for another two weeks. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by The Second City’s new main stage revue. Plus, a look inside a Chicago business dedicated to light, that’s part showroom and part art gallery. Gary talks to the founder of Lightology. And Gary takes a closer look at one of Chicago’s oldest holiday traditions with a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry for a look at the 77th annual Trees Around the World exhibit.
