Reviewing press are invited to attend the show on Friday, April 29, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. at The Second City e.t.c. Theatre (2nd Floor of Piper's Alley, 230 W North Ave).

A Red Line Runs Through It rides the rails of Chicago in order to answer life's tough questions. How does the past sculpt the future? Are we all guided by anger? In this ever-changing landscape of nostalgia and uncertainty sometimes we need a brunch with friends to sort it all out. Who will snap first? No one knows what tomorrow will bring and the only thing that is certain is that this train keeps moving. This diverse cast of comedians will take you on their own ride exploring the new mother blues, black girl magic, and salacious local news. This non-stop locomotive launches from north to south along a transit line of pure comic bliss.

Jeff Award winning director Matt Hovde (Studs Terkel's Not Working, Sky's the Limit (Weather Permitting)) returns to the helm with A Red Line Runs Through It which is written and performed by Lisa Beasley, Aasia Lashay Bullock, Peter Kim, Katie Klein, Julie Marchiano and Scott Morehead. Jesse Case returns to the keyboard as Musical Director providing original music and compositions. Laura Hum completes the ensemble as Stage Manager.

The producing team for A Red Line Runs Through It includes Andrew Alexander (CEO/Executive Producer), Eric Daniels (Second City Touring & Theatricals), Tyler Alexander (Creative Director), Alison Riley (Producer) and Jeremy Smith (Associate Producer).

Tickets for A Red Line Runs Through It start at $23.00 and are available by phone at 312-664-4032 or online at www.SecondCity.com.
