The Second City's 50th Anniversary Revue
2400 N. Lakeshore Drive Chicago
This comedy revue from the theater that has built its reputation on launching new talent and creating topical comedy dips into the past as a bridge to the present. The revue includes snippets of scenes written by a plethora of comedy greats who once graced The Second City’s stage such as Alan Arkin, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Stephen Colbert, and Tina Fey. The revue also showcases how the current ensemble of future stars uses the innovations of their predecessors to create comedy that is wholly and inextricably of its time. The comedy speaks to current economic woes, political hopes and what it means to be a living in such extraordinary times.
