Tonight’s performance will run approximately 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission.

Run Time

It all started with children’s games.

Rooted in the groundbreaking improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959, and a comedy revolution began. The small cabaret theater has grown to become the most influential and prolific comedy empire in the world, developing an entirely unique way of creating art and fostering generation after generation of superstars.

Co-founded by Spolin’s son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approach to both theater and comedy. Almost immediately, alumni of The Second City, including Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, Fred Willard, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, launched the theater into the international spotlight.

In 1976, Second City launched “SCTV,” which has been hailed as one of the greatest sketch comedy series of all time. The two-time Emmy winner featured an all-star cast made up of Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, and Rick Moranis.

Today, The Second City is home to a world-class entertainment company, continuing to produce premier talent in all three of its locations—Chicago, Toronto, and Hollywood—and entertaining more than one million audience members a year. From Steve Carell to Keegan-Michael Key, Stephen Colbert to Tina Fey, Chris Farley to Mike Myers, Second City’s imprint is all over film, television, and beyond.

In addition to its stages, Second City Touring Companies perform electrifying revues and original productions across North America and abroad. Our creative collaborations have produced thrilling and critically acclaimed work in partnership with organizations like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Norwegian Cruise Line, the New York Comedy Festival, and the Chicago Bulls.

Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto, Hollywood, and online teach thousands of students a year, and the opening of the Harold Ramis Film School in 2016 gave the world the first film school dedicated to comedy. Finally, Second City Works is an industry leader in bringing improv-based methodologies to businesses and organizations of all types.

We hope you enjoy the show...after all, it’s been almost 60 years in the making.

Program

## BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL

Dubbed "the last leading man" by *The New York Times*, two-time Tony Award® winner Brian Stokes Mitchell has enjoyed a career that spans Broadway, television, film, and concert appearances with the country's finest conductors and orchestras.

He received Tony®, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle awards for his star turn in *Kiss Me, Kate*. He also gave Tony® nominated performances in *Man of La Mancha*, August Wilson's *King Hedley II*, and *Ragtime*. Other notable Broadway shows include *Kiss of the Spider Woman*, *Jelly's Last Jam*, *Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown*, and *Shuffle Along*. In 2016 he was awarded his second Tony Award®, the prestigious Isabelle Stevenson Tony for his charitable work with The Actors Fund.  That same year, Stokes was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame.

An extremely versatile and in-demand singer, Stokes has performed at venues spanning jazz, opera, pops, country, and musical theater worlds. He has worked with John Williams, Marvin Hamlisch, Gustavo Dudamel, Keith Lockhart, Michael Tilson Thomas, The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Big Band, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and the Muppets. Stokes has made multiple appearances at Carnegie Hall, beginning with his debut with the San Francisco Symphony through his televised performance in *South Pacific* opposite Reba McEntire to his sold-out solo concert, which he continues to perform throughout the U.S. He has been invited twice to perform at the White House (both times aired on PBS's *Great Performances*) and has performed multiple times for Presidents Clinton and Obama.

Stokes has delved deeply into various music disciplines. In addition to singing, he began piano studies at the age of six. A self-professed autodidact, his musical curiosity led him to teach himself composing, arranging, and orchestration, starting in his teens. He later studied film scoring, orchestration, and conducting both privately and through UCLA and subsequently scored and conducted a number of *Trapper John, MD* episodes, a series on which he was also a regular cast member. His musical talent has extended to the present day as producer, arranger, and orchestrator on his three solo albums including *Simply Broadway* and his latest recording, *Plays With Music*. Stokes has appeared on more than 20 albums.

His extensive screen credits began with a guest-starring role on *Roots: The Next Generations*, followed by a seven-year stint on *Trapper John, MD* and have continued with memorable appearances on everything from PBS's *Great Performances* to *The Fresh Prince*, *Frasier*, *Glee*, *Jumping the Broom*, and his most recent recurring roles on *Madam Secretary*, *Mr. Robot*, *The Path*, *Billions*, and *The Good Fight*. Other recent TV appearances include *The Blacklist*, *Elementary*, and *Bull*. As a voice-over artist he has played dozens of characters on animated TV episodes, including performing "Through Heaven's Eyes" in Dreamwork's *The Prince of Egypt*.

As a writer Stokes has contributed to the book *Hirschfeld's Harlem*, wrote the preface to *At This Theatre*, and co-authored the children's book *Lights on Broadway*.

For fun, he has been known to fly planes and jump out of them (usually not at the same time), and he can ride a bicycle on a high wire.

Stokes has enjoyed working with numerous charitable organizations from the March of Dimes to the USO. He is on the board of [Americans for the Arts](https://www.americansforthearts.org/) and is serving his 14th term as chairman of the board of [The Actors Fund](https://actorsfund.org/).

## **Our Host**

**JON GOODE** is an Emmy-nominated author, poet and playwright currently residing in Atlanta, GA. He has been a featured performer on HBO’s *Def Poetry*, TVOne’s *Verses & Flow*, and BET’s *Lyric Café*. Jon’s debut collection of poems and short stories, *Conduit*, has received, to date, 54 five-star reviews, spent 16 weeks as a #1 title on Amazon, and is the best-reviewed book of poetry on Amazon for 2015/16. Jon has released his first novel, *Mydas*, which also debuted as a #1 title on Amazon. He is the regular host of The Moth StorySLAM in Atlanta, GA. IG: @jon_goode

## **Our Storytellers**

**ALISTAIR BANE** is a citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Nation of Oklahoma and currently resides in Denver, CO. Besides being a storyteller, he is also a visual artist. He makes dance regalia, quilts, and paints. In 2016 he was a resident artist for the Denver Art Museum’s Native American Arts Program. In his spare time, he enjoys rehabilitating feral rez dogs, which is a much more relaxing hobby than it might sound like, as long as you don’t mind a tiny bit of growling.

**JACOBY COCHRAN** is a writer, educator, and storyteller from the South Side of Chicago. He is the host of *City Cast Chicago*, a daily news podcast about all things Chicago! The podcast was named Best of 2021 by the *Chicago Reader*, and *Chicago Magazine* calls it “the essential Chicago podcast.” Jacoby has voiced national campaigns with AT&T, Best Buy, and Kohl’s, and led workshops for Boys & Girls Club, Spotify, and Google. Outside of recording, Jacoby hosts live shows, loves to cook, and can be seen with his camera most of the time.

**ANDREA KING COLLIER** is an award-winning author, journalist and photographer based in Lansing, MI. Andrea is a 2021-2022 Rosalyn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellow. She has been married to Darnay Collier for 38 years and is the mother of two adult children. Her favorite title is “GoGo” to two sweet grandsons.
 
**MONTE MONTEPARE** is a mountain guide, comedian and storyteller who grew up in Breckenridge, Colorado. At 20 years old, he and his best friend moved into his truck and drove to Alaska. For the better part of the last decade, he lived in Wrangell St Elias NP, taking people on the adventures of a lifetime as one of the co-owners of Kennicott Wilderness Guides. These days, he splits time between the mountains of Alaska and the comedy scene of Los Angeles. Monte is a three-time Moth StorySLAM Winner, a Moth GrandSLAM Champion and is very excited to be here.

At age 10, **LORI SYVERSON** was a nerd and a wallflower, didn't like working in groups and never considered herself a team player. Fifty years later, she may still be a nerd, but she now works to bring communities closer together as president of a Twin Cities chamber of commerce and visitors bureau. A life-long learner, Lori doesn’t sit still and thrives on challenge. She’s dabbled in community television as a show host and was featured as a TEDx speaker. For the last 10 years, she’s worked with leading researchers and innovators in the field of happiness and purpose to help guide individuals and entire communities to a happier and more purposeful life. She feels most fulfilled when “leaving fingerprints,” touching as many lives as possible in big and small ways.

## **Our Musician**

A Southfield, MI native, **RODNEY PAGE** began his violin studies at the age of 10. Upon high school graduation, he was awarded a music scholarship to Michigan State University where he earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music education. During his collegiate career, Rodney also studied piano, developing into an accomplished pianist. After graduating from college, Mr. Page taught music in the East Lansing and the St. Johns Public Schools Districts in Michigan. Following his teaching career, Mr. Page became a highly sought-out music clinician throughout the state. Rodney currently resides in Lansing, MI with his wife Kimberly and their two children Jayden and Bryson.
