The Doña Ana Arts Council is featuring the Second City 55th Anniversary Tour in Las Cruces for one night only. The tour hits the Rio Grande Theatre stage Saturday, November 22, 2014.
The Second City is the leading brand in improv-based sketch comedy. With theatres in Chicago and Toronto, Training Centers in those cites as well as Hollywood, 11 full time touring ensembles, as well as television and film operations, The Second City has been called "A Comedy Empire" by the New York Times.
Performing classic sketches made famous by stars such as Belushi, Colbert, Fey, Carell and Radner, along with satire stripped from today’s headlines and improvisations made on the spot, the eight performers blend comedy, past and present.
The Rio Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Main Street, in Las Cruces. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Reserved seat tickets are $45.50 main floor or $34 balcony (all fees included), and may be purchased by phone, at the box office or via the website at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com. $10 student tickets (with valid ID) may be purchased at the box office, upstairs at the Rio Grande Theatre, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or at the door day of show.
