The Second City
Old Town·Chicago·United Statesest. 1959
Chicago's foundational improvisational theatre, opened in 1959 in Old Town. Conservatory training, mainstage revues, and a dense alumni network have made it both a professional pipeline and a local creative clubhouse for generations of performers.
The template many cities copy: training ladder + resident casts + a room the city identifies as its comedy home.
