The Arts Section 10/12/25: Paranormal Activity Play + Arts In the Dark Parade

On this edition of The Arts Section, we start to get into the Halloween spirit, host Gary Zidek talks to the celebrated playwright behind a new horror play opening at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review a new play that imagines a dystopian future with a 26-year old queen. Later in the show, Gary previews Chicago’s 11th annual Arts In the Dark Halloween parade. And we’ll check out some fall color and animal sculptures at the Morton Arboretum.
