I have been in Chicago for three weeks now, working with Director Dexter Bullard and a cast of comedians and actors for The Second City Company (http://www.secondcity.com/). The show will be performed at the "Juste pour Rire (Just for laughs)" festival. I am having a great time and learning about sketch comedy!!!!
I will post pictures soon...
Comedy crosses borders in this unique collaboration between the world famous The Second City and Just for Laughs. Reverie is a hilarious comedy revue unburdened by language. Featuring an athletic ensemble of comic improvisers and sketch performers, Reverie uses inventive physical comedy to find laughter in what it means to be a human being. The Second City has launched the careers of many a comedy superstar – Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Gilda Rader, Steve Carell – and countless others. Additionally, Second City gave birth to “SCTV,” one of the most cherished television comedy series of all time and has won over millions of audience members with acclaimed theatrical productions that have toured all over the world and have played in such prestigious venues as The Steppenwolf Theatre, The Kennedy Center and Vienna’s English Theatre. The Second City creates hilarious, intelligent comedy and has established itself as the premier source of the comedy world’s best and brightest: Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Martin Short, Gilda Rader, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Catherine O’Hara and countless others got their start on Second City stages in Toronto and Chicago.
