Second City Theatre
Saturday, 19 May, 5:30–10:30PM

See the rising stars of comedy at the famous Second City Theatre! The Second City theatre opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December 1959. The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approach to both theatre and comedy. With the debut of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, populated by Second City Alums John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, the theatre became internationally known for its ever increasing roster of comedy superstars. Today, The Second City continues to produce the premiere comic talent in the industry. From Mike Myers to Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert to Tina Fey—The Second City imprint is felt across every entertainment medium.

This event includes round trip coach transportation and ticket to the show. The bus will depart from the Hyatt Regency at 5:30 PM, getting you to the theatre at approximately 6:30 PM.  There are a number of restaurants close to the theatre and the STC Chicago Chapter will coordinate group reservations.
