Thanksgiving Parade, Cabin Fever + Mold-A-Rama
Gary Zidek

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek previews this year’s Chicago Thanksgiving Parade, the 88th edition will march down State Street later this week. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to talk about some New York plays that could make their way to Chicago. Later, Gary catches up with a young theater artist who has started her own theater company that’s presenting a world premiere on the northside of Chicago. Gary also visits the Museum of Science and Industry to check out a new exhibit all about Mold-A-Rama machines. Plus, we’ll revisit an interview with an author, who wrote a book about the history of the Thanksgiving holiday.
