Later in the show, Gary catches up with Ravinia president and CEO Welz Kauffman for a conversation about the decision to cancel the Highland Park-based festival’s entire 2020 season and the future. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by remotely to review a local piece of theater that debuted last summer and is now streaming for free.
