Chambersburg Public Opinion

Get to Wilson College this weekend, and you may see an early performance of tomorrow's most famous comedian.

The comedy troupe that launched the careers of Bill Murray, Chris Farley, Steve Carrell, Tina Fey and more beloved comedians will perform at the Chambersburg college on Saturday evening.

The Second City will put on "Greatest Hits Vol. 59," using sketch comedy, original songs and improve to celebrate the troupe's nearly 60 years of cutting-edge satirical revues, rebooted and reimagined for today.

The Second City, a legendary comedy company and troupe that has turned out some of the world' most famous comedians, will perform a greatest hits show at 7 p.m. Sept. 21 at Wilson College.

Opened as a small cabaret theater in Chicago in 1959, The Second City grew into a world-renowned improv company. Some of the most successful comedians of the past several generations honed their skills on the stage - from Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi and Catherine O'Hara to Amy Poehler, Keegan Michael-Key and Stephen Colbert - before moving on to the movies, TV shows and other projects that made them household names.

The Second City's show at Wilson College is rated PG-13. It will take place at 7 p.m. Sept. 21 in Laird Hall.

Tickets are $15 (general admission) and can be purchased at the door or in advance at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-second-city-greatest-hits-vol-59-wilson-college-performing-arts-series-tickets-65559270543.
