PLEASE NOTE NEW DATE per Ann Sather request is May 17.
Paul Lisnek will be our guest speaker for the May Open Social.
Paul Lisnek is a multi-Emmy, Telly, and Cablefax Award-winning television and radio host, author, and commentator. He spent 18 years as WGN-TV’s political and legal analyst and 16 years anchoring its flagship political programs.
A prominent voice in Chicago theater, Paul hosted Broadway Backstage, featuring casts from major productions including Hamilton, Wicked, and Dear Evan Hansen. He now continues that work with his YouTube series, Curtain Call Chicago.
He is the author of fifteen books and holds both a J.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His career also includes practicing law, teaching, and serving as a jury consultant on high-profile cases such as O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, Casey Anthony, and Whitewater.
The Museum of Broadcast Communications houses the Paul Lisnek Gallery, a permanent exhibit honoring his career.
His presentation will offer an inside look at Curtain Call Chicago, recommendations for must-see productions, and insights on why Chicago theater can rival—or surpass—New York. He may also share perspectives on today’s political landscape. Audience Q&A will follow.
