The Arts Section 12/12/21

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to the theater artists brining the world premiere play, MR. DICKENS’ HAT to life on stage in Skokie. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review a decidedly different type of theatrical production, the dark comedy WHEN HARRY MET REHAB. Later, WDCB’s Leslie Keros sits down with Chicago guitarist extraordinaire Dave Specter, who has got a new double album out. Gary takes a look back at the history of Donny Hathaway’s holiday classic, THIS CHRISTMAS. And Gary checks in with a local orchestra that’s giving mini over-the-phone concerts this holiday season.
