The legendary improvisation
group The Second City is coming
to the New Jersey Performing Arts
Center for shows on November
7th and 8th with a show that’s
somewhat different from their
standard touring production. New
Jersey Stage spoke with Kelly
Leonard, Executive Vice President
of Second City about the show
and his upcoming book ‘Yes, and’.
The Second City Does New
Jersey: Paved and Confused is
a show tailored to the Garden
State. With our history of real-
ity TV shows, mobsters, and industry I guess we made it pretty
easy for you. I don’t think it’s a
stretch to think we could mine
some comedy out of New Jersey.
I went to school in Ithaca, NY for
a year and I think about 50% of
the school was from New Jersey,
so I certainly picked up on some
themes. You have a rich political history, both good and bad.
There’s the sports, the industry,
the mob… I mean there’s a million
things and it’s just a lot of characters and that’s great fodder for
comedy.
