The Arts Section 02/18/23: Chicago Shakespeare's New Artistic Director + Sif Itona Westerberg

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek catches up with Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s new artistic director Edward Hall. He’s taken the creative reigns after the company’s founder Barbara Gaines stepped down last year. Gary checks in with local jazz musician Shawn Maxwell to talk about his new Joliet-inspired album. Later in the show, the Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, review a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s RICHARD III. And Gary previews a new contemporary art exhibit at the Driehaus Museum that was inspired by Greek mythology.
