Taking its name from the title of A. J. Liebling's derisive profile of Chicago in The New Yorker, The Second City opened on December 16, 1959. Success was instantaneous. The Second City has been touring the world with its trademark satire and wit for over thirty years. The Second City currently operates resident theatres in Chicago, Toronto, and Detroit, as well as three touring troupes out of its Chicago theatre.
