Chicago

<p>We come to this place&#8230; for magic. We come to the de Maat theatre to laugh, to cry, to care.  All of Hollywood’s greatest hits get twisted, smashed, and deranged as we search for the next great blockbuster.  Grab your popcorn and join Chicago’s finest sketch and improv performers for a night at the movies. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry!  But somehow, heartbreak feels good in a sketch show like this.</p>


de Maat Studio Theatre - Chicago

These non-Second City productions are original works created and produced by guest performers and ensembles. With limited runs, these performances allow for complete creative freedom and may feature artists of any experience level.

Guest Performance

Characters, scenes, and songs created on the spot by our ensemble and based on your suggestions. You never know what might happen next...and neither do they! An improv show at The Second City is a lively, interactive event featuring the best improvisers in the world.

Improv

A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.
