The Arts Section 02/07/21: The Big Chill

Chicago Theaters Adapt + Talking With Jonathan Abarbanel

Gary Zidek

The deep freeze has arrived in Chicago. On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek catches up with Deb Clapp, the executive director of the League of Chicago Theatres to talk about the various ways local theater companies have adapted during the pandemic and look ahead to what 2021 might hold. Later, Gary sits down with longtime theatre critic and one half of the Dueling Critics, Jonathan Abarbanel. And Gary revisits a feature on the Elmhurst Art Museum’s WRIGHT BEFORE THE LLOYD exhibition. The west suburban museum is open to visitors again, meaning people have another chance to see the exhibit before it closes.
