The Second City Does Baltimore
A world-premiere commission
Created for CENTERSTAGE by The Second City
Additional material created by T.J. Shanoff and Megan Grano
Directed by Matt Hovde
The Head Theater
Dec 30–Feb 20
The Windy City’s comedy factory–birthplace of legendary laughmeisters like John Belushi, Stephen Colbert, and Tina Fey–blows into Charm City with a customized creation, a wild and wacky show in Baltimore, for Baltimore, and about Baltimore. It’s a slice of hometown humor, with maybe just a scoop of spoof.
“The Second City has always served as a bit of a tonic for times of difficulty and upheaval. It’s our job to laugh at what scares us, to make the unfunny funny, and to provide audiences with a chance to let go for a couple hours and just laugh.”—The Second City
The performance runs approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.
Parental Guidelines:
Contains mature language fit for older high school students. Think the hilarious style of Saturday Night Live and other late night television shows exploring the best and most notorious nooks and crannies of Baltimore.
