On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek looks at the work being done by a cohort of black dance companies that have come together to help each other. Theater critic Jonathan Abarbanel joins Gary to talk about an intriguing new play that takes a more nuanced approach to human-AI relationships. Later in the show, Gary visits a new museum that covers the history of one of the Chicago-area’s most visited suburbs. And we’ll hear how a former convenient store is finding success as a concert venue.
