The Arts Section 10/29/23: Auditorium Theatre History + Hitchcock Book

Happy Halloween!

Gary Zidek

Happy almost Halloween! On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek takes you with on a backstage tour of one of Chicago’s oldest historic landmarks, the Auditorium Theatre. Lots of history inside the 130-plus-year structure. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to review the Chicago premiere of the thought-provoking play TAMBO AND BONES. Later in the show, Gary catches up with author Laurence Leamer to talk about his new book HITCHCOCK’S BLONDES. And Gary takes a closer look at an exhibit that highlights the work of an influential, but sometimes forgotten architect and designer.
