Chicago theater community to honor Terkel

Actor David Schwimmer will be among members of Chicago's theater community honoring the late Studs Terkel next week.

The broadcaster, activist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author died Oct. 31 at age 96.

On Monday, the Steppenwolf Theatre Company will host a tribute to Terkel including a staged reading with music adapted from Terkel's book, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Reflections on Death, Rebirth, and Hunger for a Faith."

Although admission is free, reservations are required.
