DREAM FREAKS FALL: "That Checks Out."
THE SECOND CITY:
DREAM FREAKS FALL FROM SPACE
What's the logline … I have a friend who watered a plant, sent their baby crowd-surfing to see Waldo and Sherlock Holmes, in the middle of a laugh circle and it all turned out to be six degrees of separation.
What does that mean … If it sounds like a comedy, you would be right. Hilarious!
Why you should go … Nobody anywhere does it better than The Second City when it comes to comedy. This is a lightning quick, multi-talented and versatile cast including Ryan Asher, Tyler Davis, Kelsey Kinney, Jeffrey Murdoch, Tien Tran and Nate Varrone. The venerable institution that has made their style of improv comedy a brand name, incorporates fresh, topical material, songs and audience engagement to make Dream Freaks Fall From Space a super hit!
What’s the takeaway … if you spend time trying to decipher a hidden meaning in all this, you may lose the pure joy in the experience. It’s all for fun and fun for all, changing as we change, reacting to our reactions and letting us inside for a bit to be part of the story.
So, where are the stories … in a haunted house … on a Lyft ride … at children’s story hour with Mother Grouse … in a funeral home … in the middle of an inquisition with Sherlock Holmes ... at sewer prom. Trust me, before long you’ll be saying “That checks out!”
A little bit of history … revel in the walk through the historic arches from North Wells and then upstairs. After that, you’ll be part of the legacy of The Second City. Go forth, be amused and bring a friend, who watered a plant …
