Chicago’s
legendary comedy theatre, “The Second City” will appear Friday, Feb. 10 at
Francis Marion University’s Performing Arts Center.
The
show, part of the group’s Laugh Out Loud Tour, will feature some of the best
sketches, songs and improvisations from “The Second City’s” forty-five
year plus history. Founded in Chicago in 1959, “The Second City” has become the
premier training ground for the comedy world’s best and brightest. Their alumni
read like a who’s who of American comedy including Joan Rivers, John Belushi,
Dan Aykrod, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert and
countless others.
Not
only does the show provide audiences with the chance to see comedy starts in
the making, but they will also have the opportunity to see absolutely hilarious
satire and cutting-edge improvisation. No topic or subject matter is off limits
for “The Second City”. If your parents asked you not to speak about it at the
dinner table, chances are it will be made fun of in an evening with “The Second
City”.
The
performance is the third of four performances in the “Variety Series” that will
conclude with the show “War Bonds: The Songs and Letters of World War II” on
May 26.
In
addition to the “Variety Series” there are four others during the PAC’s season
that runs until May of 2012. Those series include Broadway shows,
concerts, family oriented shows and a dance series as well as a wide range of
acts in the smaller, more intimate Black Box Theatre. Information on the
complete season is available at www.fmupac.org.
