Above / The popular stage at The Wentz will host another Second City event benefiting the Naperville Education Foundation on Jan. 23.
The Naperville Education Foundation (NEF) will host its annual fundraiser, Yuks for Youth, featuring The Second City’s performance of “Hooking Up With The Second City,” from 7-10PM on Sat., Jan 23, 2016.
The event will take place at Wentz Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center, located at 171 E. Chicago Avenue on the campus of North Central College.
The Second City knows a few things about love – they’ve been looking at and laughing about relationships for over 55 years. “Hooking Up With The Second City” makes mirth out of missed connections, girls’ night out adventures and all the crazy things we do for love. This gaspingly funny revue is a modern mix of romance, rancor and everything in between.
The performance will include a select group of School District 203 high school students chosen to take part in a private workshop with The Second City cast on the afternoon of the performance and who will participate in the actual show to the delight of ticket holders.
The laughter starts at 7PM with light hors d’oeuvres, cash bar and 50/50 raffle. The performance of “Hooking Up With The Second City” begins at 8PM.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.nef203.org for $55 a person. Tickets at the door will increase to $65. All proceeds underwrite NEF programs benefiting School District 203 students.
For more information call (630) 420-3086.
