Green Book Exhibit + Chicago Distillery History
Gary Zidek

On this edition of The Arts Seciton, host Gary Zidek takes you with on his visit to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education for an upclose look at a new exhibit all about the Green Book, which was an important resource for Black Americans over a 30 period between the 30s and 60s. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will join me to talk about Court Theatre’s latest production, FEN. Later in the show, Gary sits down with local historian David Witter to talk about his new book, DISTILLED IN CHICAGO, that profiles Chicago’s history of distilleries. And we’ll hear from a local doctor-slash-magician who invested in a new theater.
