As Letterman used to be fond of saying, “Dem bats is smart–they use radar.” You can find out how smart today at Masters of the Night: The True Story of Bats, an exhibition that recently opened at the Field Museum. The exhibit promises to dispel popular misconceptions about bats and show visitors the world as bats see it: upside down. It also includes live neotropical fruit bats on loan from Brookfield Zoo. Admission is $3 on top of the general admission price, which is $5 for adults and $3 for children, students, and seniors. General admission is free on Wednesday. The museum, Lake Shore Drive at Roosevelt, is open 9 to 5. Call 922-9410.
Also in honor of Gay and Lesbian Pride Week, Second City, which has never done a gay-themed revue before, preempts its regular show tonight for The Second City: Out of the Closet. The show starts at 8 at Second City E.T.C. at Piper’s Alley, 1608 N. Wells. Admission is $12; proceeds benefit Season of Concern. Call 642-8189.
