The Second City Touring CompanyDirector: Jonald Jude Reyes

Producer: Joe RuffnerCompany Manager: Joshua KaiserCasting Director: Claudia Wallace

VP of Production: Jen HoytCEO and Executive Producer: Andrew Alexander

The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959. No one could have guessed that this small cabaret theater would become the most influential and prolific comedy theater in the world.

With its roots in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City developed an entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy. 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. At a time when mother-in-law jokes were more the fashion, The Second City railed against the conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger generation.

The Broadway success of Mike Nichols and Elaine May—members of The Second City’s predecessor, The Compass Players—put attention on the fledgling company. Soon, alumni of The Second City such as Alan Arkin, Barbara Harris, Robert Klein, David Steinberg and Fred Willard began to cement the theater’s reputation for developing the finest comedic voices of each and every generation. With the debut of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, populated by Second City alums John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and Gilda Radner, the theater became internationally known for its ever increasing roster of comedy superstars.

Soon, Second City’s sister-theater in Canada developed its own sketch comedy series, SCTV, hailed as one of the greatest comedy series of all time and featuring an all-star cast that included Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis.

By the 1980s, The Second City had become much more than a small cabaret theater on Chicago’s north side. In the middle of the decade, The Second City would begin a new era as Second City Toronto proprietors Andrew Alexander and Len Stuart would buy out Bernie Sahlins’ interest in The Second City Chicago and set in motion a new era of innovation for the company.

Today, The Second City continues to produce the premiere comic talent in the industry. From Mike Myers to Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert to Tina Fey—The Second City imprint is felt across every entertainment medium. Additionally, The Second City has grown well beyond a single stage to become a diversified entertainment company. Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles teach thousands of students every week; four touring companies perform Second City revues all over North America and abroad; Second City Communications has become an industry leader in bringing improv-based methodologies to the corporate sector; and Second City continues to create unique media in television, film and the digital realm.

ABOUT THE BALLET 2020 USA TOUR PROGRAM

VERACRUZ SOTAVENTO The lively and cheerful music of Veracruz reflects influence from both Spanish and Totonac Indian cultures. Known as “Son Jarocho,” this music is fast, light and rustic. The dancers are accompanied by a small ensemble (usually three or four musicians and/or singers) consisting of various sizes of guitars (such as the “Requinto,” a small, high-pitched guitar, and the “jarana,” which is similar to the ukulele, and a unique walking Harp). The high-spirited falsetto yells of the singers and the slapping of the guitar strings with the hand at the end of each phrase further accentuate the complex nature of the music.

GUERRERO The music of Guerrero, more than any other State, preserves Spanish tradition. In this Chilean dance, the couple uses handkerchiefs to show the naunces of flirtation, which continue to change as the dance progresses. Originally, the women’s dance was accompanied by a harp or violin along with the guitar, but today they use small wind ensembles, called “Chili Frito” or a guitar consort.

MICHOACÁN It is located in the northern region of Uruapan Mountains, home of the beautiful Lake of Patzcuaro. The older men of the town danced with their sticks as an offering to the “Sun God” or “Old God,” which in the region of Michoacán is called “Tata Jurhiata.” The old people received the vigor required to continue with their earthly activities from the sun that burned their faces.

HIDALGO In the area of the Sierra Huasteca, where the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi and Queretaro are located, the musical style “son Huasteco” or “huapango” developed in the 17th century. There are several interpretations about the origin of this name. It is said that it was previously known as “huapanco,” from the Nahuatl root huapantli (or vapantli, viva viva). The son huasteco or huapango is a type of music based on a ternary compass structure that has three variants: the typical huapango or huasteco, played by the huasteco trio; the northern huapango, interpreted by northern group and the huapango of mariachi.

PUEBLA During fiestas in Colonial times, the Spanish conquerors would perform a dance known as “Moors and Christians,” which commemorated their recent wars with the Moors. This dance intrigued the natives, who marveled at the percussive sounds produced by the spurs and weapons of the Spaniards. The natives, who were not particularly interested in the historical background of the dance, concentrated on developing the sound of the spurs in their version of it called “Las Espuelas” or “The Spurs.” This dance requires great strength and is usually interpreted by men accustomed to arduous and fatiguing work.

OAXACA La Pluma is a celebration of an Aztec legend about the last Aztec Emperor, Moctezuma. This dance represents one of the dreams that Moctezuma had, in which the Emperor imagines himself to be a sacred bird who warns his people of the coming Spanish invasion.

The Sandunga, which means “graceful” or “fascinating,” is accompanied by the sensual romantic marimba. The Tehuana women of Oaxaca are called “Shunkas” and are renowned for their beauty, grace and majestic carriage.

In Flor de Piña, in the region of Tuxtepec, the people are very honest, cheerful, noisy, hopeful and ambitious. In this region, their dances are an amalgamation of their hybrid music and Spanish influence. This dance is performed only by barefoot women.

Jarabe Mixteco, La Mixteca is one of the seven regions that forms the beautiful State of Oaxaca. This jarabe originates from the western part of the State of Oaxaca and dates back to approximately 1588. The Mixtecos have observed the cult of completely glorifying their lovely Princess Ita Andehuii, a sweet, arrogant and beautiful woman, who symbolizes the “Flower of the Heaven.”

YUCATÁN In the beautiful region of Yucatan, the weather is warm and pleasant, the land produces abundant fruits and crops, and the people live in comfort. “Vaquerías” (“Ranches”) is the name given to the fiestas celebrated in this region, which are represented in this dance. The dance is very animated and includes many different tunes that are played by musicians strolling from street to street announcing the coming of the fiesta. The parties take place in an “enramada,” an area shaded by big palm branches, and, up until a few years ago, these Vaquerías lasted from three days to a full week.

CHIAPAS Chiapas is the southernmost Pacific Coast in Mexico, well known for its beautiful jungle forests. This is the home of the Zapotec people who produce gold and silver works of astonishing beauty. It is also a home of blue skies, a radiant sun, fertile countrysides, precious wood, fruits, celebrated coffee and more. The folklore of Chiapas has brilliant and colorful dances, reflecting the buoyancy of the Spanish culture and the more contemplative nature of the indigenous people. The character of the half-breed (hybrid) Chiapaneco—extroverted, happy and vigorous—is reflected in these stories full of earthly happiness and fine coquetry, represented by exquisitely embroidered flowers on the dancers’ dresses. The stories and dances are accompanied by the music of the marimba, an instrument brought by the slaves from Africa.

VERACRUZ ANTIGUO The origin of Son Jarocho dates back to the 18th century, and its music comes from Spain. The African influences that developed in the Caribbean basin and the indigenous substrate, and originally populated these lands, merge to give life to this musical style. That is why, when dancing the Son Jarocho, the body interprets the mixture of these three roots through movements and firm zapateados.

BAJA CALIFORNIA The dance of the “Calabaceado” is a regional dance from the north of the country, specifically from the state of Baja California. Its origin traces back to 1940s, when little by little, cattle activities became a source of entertainment for the cowboys. (The jockeys, the lasso and the horse races were some of the most popular.) Later, the cowboys would imitate the motions of these activities in their dances. Specifically, Calabaceado is a mixture of norteño music, the dance of “change of couple” and cowboy dancing, which includes lively jumps, turns and kicks. The rhythm of the zigzag dance comes from the Huasteca area and belongs to the huapango genre. When interpreted by the northern group, they named it “huapango norteño,” also known as “calabaceado dance,” “huarachazo” or “taconeado,” depending on the region or the place where it is performed. During the dance, the “change of couple” is constant and there are no moments of rest for the dancers. For these reasons, it is considered a tradition that requires a lot of resistance and skill.

JALISCO The State of Jalisco, whose capital is the famous city of Guadalajara, is a land of sunshine, lying on the Pacific Coast due west of Mexico City. Its music and dance are world famous and synonymous with gaiety, color and rhythm. “Son Jalisciense,” the Jalisco sound, is readily identifiable. No true Mexican fiesta is complete without it. The music always is performed by Mariachi bands, that customarily play a medley of tunes, many originating from 15th century Spain and containing complex rhythms. The dances are known as “Jarabe,” which literally means “sweet syrup,” possibly because many of them are courtship dances. The National Folclóric Ballet of Mexico was the first folkloric group to include a Floreador (lariat artist) to the program as an integral part of the national culture. This practice has been adopted by most Mexican dance companies.
