On The Scene Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Second City!

The influential improv theater Second City celebrated its 50th Anniversary last week in Chicago. Countless Second City alumni, including Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Jim Belushi, returned to Chicago to commemorate ’50 Years of Funny’. Three full days of events, including a 50th Anniversary Show and a SCTV reunion, took place to mark this milestone. Southwest Airlines, who sponsored the private Second City charter flight, called upon On The Scene to arrange the red carpet arrival at their hangar at Midway Airport. As the private Southwest charter arrived, the air stairs were pulled up and the red carpet was rolled out. Waiting to greet the Second City Alumni flight were various Second City founders and alumni as well as local press and media. As they stepped off the plane, guests were greeted with a champagne toast by Andrew Alexander, the CEO of Second City and a reading of a proclamation by the City of Chicago.
