Professional Improvisation for Innovation
Today, The Second City Training Center is the largest school of improvisation and sketch comedy in the world.
After spending many years at The Second City Chicago training and producing independent shows I learned speed, agility, collaboration, comfort with change, willingness to fail, and the creativity to solve old problems in new ways. And these skills came in handy within Silicon Valley’s fast-paced, collaborative and innovative culture.
In an era of cost cutting and technology, it is important to understand that innovation is key.
The Second City Works Program
For fifty years The Second City has created a wealth of comedic material from a legendary group of performers such as Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and Steve Carell. The Training Center follows the traditions developed by these groundbreaking and innovative men and women while encouraging the continued growth and development of the art forms of comedy and improvisation.
