The Second City Touring Company will perform some of the best sketches, songs, and improvisations from the troupe’s fifty-eight-year history at our own Rio Grande Theatre.

John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Aidy Bryant, Alan Arkin and more.[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][minti_image img="20817" align="center" animation="fade-in-from-left"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]Fast, fresh and super funny, this promises to be an evening of hilarious sketch comedy and The Second City’s trademark improvisation.

The Black Market Trust

[minti_spacer height="25"]

An exciting fusion of jazz, pop and vocal harmonies proudly returns to the historic Rio Grande Theatre.

[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"]The Black Market Trust is an American Traditional Pop/Vocal Jazz group from Los Angeles who combine the sounds of the legendary American crooners and vocal groups with the romantic Eastern European fire and energy of Gypsy Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Consisting of five world-class musicians who have traveled the globe recording and performing on the world’s biggest stages and with music’s most renowned artists, The Black Market Trust capitalize on their experience and pedigree to deliver high energy, crowd-pleasing performance filled with some of the best songs ever written.[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/2"][minti_image img="20816" align="center" animation="fade-in-from-left"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]Merging their love of The Mills Brothers to the Beach Boys, Sinatra to Lennon/McCartney, the live show features material from The Great American Songbook infused with Django’s romantic and virtuosic flavor. Add some intricate vocal harmonies, a dash of Rat Pack-style comedy and it’s clear to audiences why The Black Market Trust have quickly earned a reputation as one of the premier live acts performing in music today. Be transported as they meld two distinctly different vibes- one of a gypsy campfire, the other a slick metropolitan nightclub- into a cohesive, stylish sound.[minti_spacer height="25"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row bg_color="rgba(221,51,51,0.13)"][minti_spacer height="25"]
