Featuring such classic songs as “Stay” (Just a Little Bit Longer),” “Runaround Sue,” “Tears On My Pillow,” “Unchained Melody,” “Earth Angel,” and of course the title song, Life Could Be A Dream is another musical trip down memory lane that will leave you laughing, singing and cheering!

THE SECOND CITY 2: LESS PRIDE MORE PORK runs April 29-July 1

THE SECOND CITY 2: LESS PRIDE MORE PORK
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
April 29-July 1
Eden Park

Reviews: Enquirer |

ALL NEW SHOW! The world’s premier comedy company will again set its razor-sharp sights on Cincinnati. What’s left to skewer? The Second City was in town long enough to know they haven’t come close to exhausting the material. Not to mention, between now and opening night, entire sports seasons will come and go, politicians will star on reality shows and streetcars may (or may not) be on track. The future holds nothing but promise for comedy at our expense. If the recent sold-out, record-breaking run was any indication, you gotta goetta your tickets now!

THE SECOND CITY 2: LESS PRIDE MORE PORK is suitable for adults and older teenagers. It contains adult language and content. Please be aware that portions of the show are improvisation and will change nightly so a specific content advisory will not be possible.

Directed by Mick Napier
Music directed by Matthew Loren Cohen

Cast: Cody Dove, Sayjal Joshi, Amy Roeder, John Sabine, Tim Stoltenberg & Travis Turner

This is the story of a Broadway actress, Janet Van De Graaaff, who wants to marry the debonair Robert Martin and give up her stage career. Janet’s producer, Mr. Feldzie, must stop the wedding because if she quits show business, he’ll lose his job! Further, gangsters threaten Mr. Feldzie since if Janet quits, they lose their investment. -StageAgent.com
