On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek catches up with acclaimed theater artist Terry Guest to talk about his upcoming project, an adapted children’s book that deals with the impact on families with an incarcerated parent. Guest won a Joyce Award this week for adapting MILO IMAGINES THE WORLD. The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review Chicago Shakespeare’s much anticipated musical version of Lord of the Rings. And Gary revisits his interview with Lyric Opera’s outgoing general director, who is retiring after 30 years in the arts.
