Tara D. sent out an email this afternoon that she had an extra ticket to her Second City Touring show for this evening. They were performing on the Mainstage. My rehearsal for CSz was cancelled so I had the evening free. I emailed Tara quickly and lo and behold I had a comp ticket to see the blueco perform this evening. Awesome. Many of you know I worked for The Second City over the summer, many of you do not know that I know very little about the shows of The Second City. I am not familiar with any of the famous sketches. I don't know a lot of the people who are in the casts. After seeing the show tonite, I've seen a grand total of 3 Second City shows. Ever. Its weird to have worked for them and know so very little about the shows they do, so I leaped at the opportunity to see another show. Also, for those of you who don't know her, Tara Defrancisco is crazy talented. Since I moved to Chicago she has been one of my favorite people to watch. Its pretty awesome that she's my friend now! I watched the cast do a great show that the audience went apeshit for....oh! I'm forgetting something. I got to sit with Natalie Sullivan, also in the CSz ensemble, also working for The Second City on the Novi stage. I've met Natalie a few times, but I got to hang with her tonite one on one and we had a lot of fun. She is a great gal and we had a real nice chat!!! So the show was great and then Tara invited Natalie and (drumroll) ME (shitting pants) to play in the set after the show. On the Chicago Mainstage. For an audience. Of people. Thank you, Tara D. It was super fun and felt incredible to be included in something so amazing. Also, the cast was super nice, the audience had a great time, and I made it through a few scenes without having a seizure on stage.
Thank you Tara. Thank you Natalie. Thank you BlueCo. Thank you Obama.
