Second City
FAIR & UNBALANCED
MONDAY AND TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1 AND 2, 8PM
RAMSEY CONCERT HALL
The New York Times calls them "Legendary," and who could argue with an alumni list that includes Bill Murray, John and Jim Belushi, Steve Carell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey, Joan Rivers, John Candy, Bonnie Hunt, Stephen Colbert, Chris Farley, and so many more. Can't make the trip to Chicago? Not to worry, we're bringing the Second City to you. For more than forty years, the company that gave us SCTV and inspired Saturday Night Live and Whose Line Is It Anyway? has taken its act on the road and now it's coming to Athens. Performing a special medley of classic scenes, songs, and trademark improvisation, the Second City Company on Tour is always original, always daring, and always hilarious.

Reduced Shakespeare Company
THE COMPLETE WORLD OF SPORTS (ABRIDGED)
TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 8PM
HODGSON CONCERT HALL
Since its origins in 1981 as a pass-the-hat act in California, the Reduced Shakespeare Company has created seven hit shows that have had audiences in stitches all over the world. The company's first three shows, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged), and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged), ran for nine years and were London's longest-running comedies. The RSC had more shows running in the West End than Andrew Lloyd Webber. They were also funnier. Now the bad boys of abridgement bring you a championship new comedy that sprints through the world of sports at record-breaking speed. Let the games begin!

The Water Coolers
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4 AND 5, 8PM
RAMSEY CONCERT HALL
Direct from New York, The Water Coolers is the "laugh-out-loud" musical comedy about the things we share around the water coolers of America every day—life, work, kids, husbands, wives, travel, technology—and trying to balance it all. From pretending you understand what the IT guy is saying (The IT Cowboy) to your second job as a gift wrap salesperson (Who Will Buy This Crap for My Kid's School?) to trying to figure out exactly what that one guy does all day (The Great Pretender), The Water Coolers will make you howl at the things we all face just making it through the week. This hilarious Off-Broadway show of original songs, sketch comedy, and pop parodies is not just about work . . . it's about life.
