The Arts Section 12/18/22

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek takes a closer look at a long-running Chicago holiday tradition that’s turning 80 this year. The Museum of Science and Industry has been celebrating Christmas Around the World since 1942. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, review Steppenwolf Theatre’s world premiere, BALD SISTERS. Later in the show, Gary catches up with acclaimed theater director Mary Zimmerman to talk about her play THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER, which is quickly becoming a holiday tradition. And Gary checks in with Chicago magazine dining editor Amy Cavanaugh to talk about the current state of the local restaurant scene and her favorite menu items from the past year.
