The Arts Section 05/23/21: Opera & Ballet Return + New Hubbard Street Dance Artistic Director

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek checks in with the artistic directors of Lyric Opera and Joffrey Ballet to hear about their plans for offering in-person performances later this year. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will join me to review a new audio play from Steppenwolf Theatre. Later, Gary catches up with the new artistic director of Hubbard Street Dance to discuss her plans for one of Chicago’s most innovative dance companies. And Gary talks to the author of a new biography all about actor (and jazz musician) Jeff Goldblum.
