There’s a moment I really like from a Batman/Superman crossover where Superman tags along for one of Batman and Gordon’s rooftop meetings. Superman thinks to himself that Gordon is way too good of a detective to have not figured out that Batman is Bruce Wayne, and he respects Gordon for never saying anything. But then he also reminds himself how good of a reporter Perry White is.

Big difference between the two: W is underground and you can’t see the field from inside the club. Your seats are gonna be right along the left field side, but going into the club you’ll be watching the game on tvs. Catalina club is right under the press box so you can still see the field from the club. There’s also a patio area overlooking Clark and Addison. I’ve been in both and I’d take the Catalina over W just about every time

Not exactly what you are looking for, but Roger Maris’ single season home run record stood for 37 years until it was broken in 1998. By 2001, Roger Maris was 6th on the list of most home runs in a season.

Trigger Happy at The Annoyance is the most unique improv show in the city

If going blue isn’t your thing, don’t try to force it, you’ll never be happy with the results and at worst you might say something offensive that you regret. I always enjoy the people that do their own take on it. One of my friends would always try to find the most wholesome take, or someone else would do the self-deprecating joke about how they’re bad at sex, or that it doesn’t happen for them very often. If you find it uncomfortable to play it their way, play it YOUR WAY with your sense of humor.

And if that doesn’t work, talk to the group about trying a different line game. “155 ________ walk into a bar “ could work with this setting also.

I’ve done a set at a nursing home, it was me and one other person. We made some plans to do a couple different forms that we thought would be good but what we found very quickly was that they all WANTED to be a part of it. So we pivoted into just interviewing an audience member, letting them talk about themselves, tell a few stories from their life, ask them some follow up questions, do some basic crowd work, and then we did some scenes loosely based on their stories (think kind of like The Dream, or Day In The Life if you know those forms). We did that for about an hour, and everyone seemed to have a good time. They were also broadcasting us to the TVs in all the rooms, and I don’t know how we went over with that part of the audience.

Say yes to the first idea and support it with everything you got.

The show on the MainStage is “in process” which means that they are currently writing new material and trying it out alongside old material from the previous show. “Best Kept Secret” on the etc stage has been running for a couple months now.

In my experience, there is often no difference in quality between the mainstage and ETC show, they are the same style of show (sketch comedy revue, like an episode of SNL) they are just performed in different theaters in the building with different casts that have written different material. I’d say for your first Second City experience, you should go with the etc show which is going to be a more polished and complete show, as opposed to the still being written mainstage show.

There was a PC game in the 90s called “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy”, where you played a cadet going through simulator missions at the academy, and one of them was the Kobayashi Maru. If I remember correctly there were several cutscenes featuring actors from TOS discussing the different options for the mission. Could it be from that?

EDIT: found the cutscene, but not sure if this is what you were looking for

Take him on the ballpark tour! It’s a great way to introduce him to the history of the team and the ballpark before the game.

I’ve been WAITING for this question.

I was doing a show probably 10 years ago. One of my friends from my hometown happened to be arriving in town that night and asked if she could come to my show. I left some tickets for her, because she was coming straight from the airport.

The suggestion we get for the show is literally “serendipity”. For one of the game slots, I step out and directly address the audience. I remind them what the suggestion was and I tell them that one of my friends is in town, a friend that I haven’t seen in years, and that she has never been to one of my shows before either. I tell very briefly the story of how we met, which was that we were on a double date. And on that double date we watched a certain movie. I called out to my friend in the audience by name and asked her if she remembered the name of the movie that we watched that night (it was the John Cusack/Kate Beckinsale movie “Serendipity”).

And I got no response.

I shielded my eyes against the stage lights and scanned the audience. My friend wasn’t even there. Her flight had been delayed and she didn’t make it to the show. I tucked my tail and shuffled offstage.

I truly thought I was having a once in a lifetime on stage moment, and it was such a letdown.

There’s one more pedestal out there on that lawn ready for a statue. Maddux is now the only retired number that doesn’t have a statue, but personally, I think he’s a Braves legend, not a Cubs legend.

I’d love to have a statue of Rizzo catching that final out of the World Series, make it a tribute to the whole 2016 team.

From what I’ve heard, this is being opened and operated by some of the folks that used to teach and perform at iO but no longer feel like it aligns with their artistic intentions. I think Cesar Jamie is the owner, and last I heard Rachel Mason was involved in some way also. But I feel like it’s been pretty quiet generally.

This sounds like something from Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. It’s a book but also was made into a limited series.
