Dear Member,

This month, be sure to join us for the premiere of the cross-platform three-part series 10 Homes, Parks, and Towns that Changed America, hosted by Geoffrey Baer, which spotlights the special places that change the way Americans live, work, and play. Explore American architecture, design, and urban planning as Geoffrey shows how our homes, towns, and parks reflect our nation’s history, values, ingenuity, and hopes for the future. With the series, we will also launch an immersive mobile

website at wttw.com/10thatchanged where you can discover more homes, towns, and parks; exclusive video and other stories; interactive games and features; a timeline and map across America; and more.

Also in April, WTTW11 brings you the premiere of Ken Burns’ fascinating two-part biography of baseball player and civil rights activist Jackie Robinson, the first to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball; and we will also revisit two other popular Ken Burns series: JAZZ and The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. Enjoy more episodes of our digital series Chat, Please! and watch the fun and informative “Chef’s Choice” episode of Check, Please!, which the Chicago Tribune called “must-see TV for any Chicagoan who dines out.” There will be new episodes of popular favorites Call the Midwife, Father Brown, and Death in Paradise, and the

new action-packed detective series Luther, starring Idris Elba. Don’t miss The Interview Show, hosted by Mark Bazer; Point Taken, a weekly interactive panel discussion series; the inside stories of Britain’s Prince Philip, Wallis Simpson, and Pope (now Saint) John Paul; and a remembrance of the young diarist Anne Frank. And, finally, we close out April with a new season of WTTW’s landmark music series Soundstage, which will commence with a rousing concert by country legend Toby Keith, taped in our own Grainger Studio. Watch all of this anytime and anywhere – on WTTW11, on wttw.com/video, or via the PBS video app.

On 98.7WFMT and wfmt.com, as the worldwide celebration of William Shakespeare 400 rolls on, we devote April 23 (Shakespeare’s birthday) to musical inspirations from the Bard’s astounding dramatic legacy; check out wfmt.com for related content. We’ll be featuring comedians and musical humor on April Fool’s Day and, from the Metropolitan Opera, we present new productions of Strauss’ Elektra, Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux, Verdi’s Otello and Simon Boccanegra, and Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Be sure to take advantage of your very own Member Perks on page 4 and many more at wfmt.com/benefits. Each month, you’ll find a wide variety of restaurant, theatre, museum, concert, and other discounts, so you can make the most of everything Chicago has to offer.

Independent Lens: Peace Officer Screening

WTTW, in partnership with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, present a free screening and discussion of the Indie Lens Pop-up documen-tary film, Peace Officer.

The increasingly tense relationship between law enforcement and the public is seen through the eyes of someone who’s been on both sides: a former sheriff who es-tablished Utah’s first

SWAT team, only to see the same unit kill his son-in-law in a con-troversial standoff 30 years later. Now a private investigator, Dub seeks the truth in this case and other officer-involved shootings.
