The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959, and a comedy revolution began. The small cabaret theater has grown to become one of the most influential and prolific comedy empires in the world by developing an entirely unique way of creating art and fostering generation after generation of superstars. Almost immediately, alumni of The Second City, including Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, launched the theater into the international spotlight. From Steve Carell to Keegan-Michael Key, Stephen Colbert to Tina Fey, Chris Farley to Mike Myers, The Second City's imprint is all over film, television, and beyond. The Second City at the Presidio Theatre will feature up-and-coming performers destined for stardom.
