Siskel & Ebert at 50: Live Performance

​Roger Ebert (Zack Mast) and Gene Siskel (Stephen Winchell) are back in the balcony, watching recreated film clips from their past, arguing about their meaning and sharing historical context. With a live accompaniment from Jeffrey Thomas and his band of the Sneak Previews theme and the original “Root Beer Rag” theme, Siskel & Ebert at 50 features additional performances by Rachel Wilson and Tim Sozsko in the “clips.” Produced by a Pocket Guide to Hell, WTTW’s Geoffrey Baer will introduce the event, and a conversation among Sneak Previews producers Thea Flaum and Michelle McKenzie-Voigt moderated by Chicago Tribune’s Rick Kogan follows the 40-minute performance.
