The Guide | November 2015 by WTTW

Air Check Dear Member, This month, I’m excited to announce some news for the WTTW Kids in our audience! Coming from our very own backyard, a new children’s series will make its national debut on the day before Thanksgiving. Nature Cat, a co-production from WTTW and local creators David and Adam Rudman of Spiffy Pictures, follows Fred (voiced by Saturday Night Live star Taran Killam), a house cat with no instincts for nature but a strong desire to explore the great outdoors. In each episode, Fred transforms into “Nature Cat” and joins with a star-studded group of animal friends for intrepid adventures designed to inspire kids aged 3-8 to go outside and play. Kids and families can also enjoy online and mobile games, hands-on activities, and parent resources, and of course, watch the show anywhere they are. As the temperatures drop, WTTW11 offers up a wide variety of diversions to keep you warm. The month begins with two new miniseries: Earth’s Natural Wonders and NOVA: The Making of North America. Ball of Confusion recalls the turbulent election year of 1968. We pay homage to Broadway legends Chita Rivera and the composers Kander & Ebb. We mark Veterans Day with three thought-provoking programs – Independent Lens: Stray Dog; Iwo Jima: From Combat to Comrades; and Debt of Honor: Disabled Veterans in American History. This year, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching with our annual broadcast honoring ten outstanding area educators. Online only, the crew from The Good Stuff examines all things weird, and David Manilow interviews local culinary notables on Chat, Please! Eddie Murphy receives the 18th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Two specials explore different aspects of the origins of Thanksgiving Day and on Thanksgiving night, we bring you the Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Concert. We end the month on a high note with an exciting all-new Geoffrey Baer special: Chicago’s South Side. WTTW’s popular tour guide spent this past summer crisscrossing the area, talking to local residents and eliciting fascinating stories of how their neighborhoods came to be and what it’s like to live there today. We’ll also launch a companion website with more stories that explore all four corners of the South Side, extra video, and ideas for what you can do in these neighborhoods today. WFMT will present the openings of two very different Lyric Opera productions: Alban Berg’s dark drama Wozzeck in a new production led by Sir Andrew Davis, and Franz Lehar’s frothy romance The Merry Widow starring Renée Fleming and Thomas Hampson. A stage work drawing on the traditions of both opera and musical theater is Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, which we’ll hear from New York’s Glimmerglass Festival. Also this month, we’ll feature Taloa, an exploration of American Indian and Maori music hosted by Chickasaw composer Jerod Tate. You can experience all of this, and much more, on our website and in WFMT’s newly redesigned apps for Apple and Android devices. All of us at WTTW and WFMT are truly thankful for you and your generous support of everything we do. Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely,

Dan Schmidt President & CEO

2-for-1 Tickets to The Dance Center The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago presents the Chicago debut of Camille A. Brown & Dancers performing their newest work, BLACK GIRL: Linguistic Play, which reveals the complexity of carving out a self-defined identity as a black female in urban American culture. With original music compositions, performed live by pianist Scott Patterson and bass guitarist Tracy Wormworth, Brown uses the rhythmic play of African-American dance vernacular, including social dancing, double dutch, steppin’, tap, Juba, ring shout, and gesture, as the black woman’s domain to evoke childhood memories of selfdiscovery. From play to protest, the performers come into their identities, from childhood innocence to girlhood awareness to maturity – all the while shaped by their environments, the bonds of sisterhood and society at large. Performances are November 5-7 at 7:30 pm at The Dance Center, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. WTTW members may purchase two tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, for any performance by calling (312) 369-8330 and using the code 21748.

Ball of Confusion: The 1968 Election

American Comandante: American Experience

Alice’s Restaurant 50th Anniversary Special

Assassinations, racial unrest, nationwide riots, and an endless war in Vietnam put the nation on edge and produced a historic three-way presidential election.

Meet William Morgan, the larger-than-life American who rose to power in Cuba during the revolution. His life had it all – adventure and romance, mobsters and spies, and a cast of characters including J. Edgar Hoover, Che Guevara, and Fidel Castro.

In this performance, Arlo deftly performs the song for the first time in over a decade. He also plays other material from the early part of his career and two new arrangements of previously unreleased lyrics by his father, the legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie.
