The Arts Section 06/16/19

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek sits down with comedian and actor Jim Gaffigan for a wide-ranging conversation about his connection to Chicago, how he decided what projects to take on, and his new movie, BEING FRANK. Plus, Gary talks to BEING FRANK director Miranda Bailey. Later in the program, Gary profiles a Chicago theater company dedicated to local social issues as it celebrates it’s 50th anniversary. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, stop by to discuss Red Tape Theatre’s new production and new state funding for certain arts-related projects. And Gary reviews the new comedy, LATE NIGHT. All that, plus the weekly Arts Section calendar.
