A GIRL'S GUIDE TO WASHINGTON POLITICS Ends Performances at Woolly 1/9/11

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company is proud to present Second City Theatricals' production of A Girl's Guide to Washington Politics in a limited engagement which ends on January 9, 2011. 

The Second City celebrates 50 years of cutting edge satiric revues as well as being the launching pad for generations of comedy superstars. In keeping with this tradition, Second City Theatricals brings a hilarious, entirely original revue all about Washington, DC to Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, covering the life of Washington politics with an original spin that only The Second City could deliver.

Beginning as a small cabaret theatre on Chicago's north side in 1959, The Second City has grown to become a comedy empire-building a robust business based on its core improvisational methodologies. Resident theatres in Chicago and Toronto create topical sketch comedy revues that satirize politics, culture, and news of the day. Beyond its stages, The Second City created the foremost school of improvisation-based arts in the world-with training facilities in Chicago, Toronto, and Los Angeles that enroll over 3,000 students; a corporate division works with hundreds of Fortune 500 companies in areas of training, marketing, entertainment, and brand services; and The Second City's forays into television and new media include the classic, Emmy-award winning comedy series "SCTV," as well as a number of new productions originating from The Second City Entertainment's offices in Los Angeles.
