On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek sit down Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Commissioner Mark Kelly, who is retiring from his role leading the city’s culture agency. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will review Chicago Shakespeare Theatre’s mash-up of the bard and The Beatles and they’ll preview some Halloween themed shows currently playing around town. Gary looks at some Halloween trends. And later, Gary talks to the author of a new book that follows what happens to all those characters who are the last ones standing at the end of a horror movie.
