The Second City and NBCUniversal announced today the return of the NBCUniversal Second City Break Out Comedy Festival, taking place in Chicago June 3 and June 4, 2016.
LAKE HOMO HIGH is a teen drama comedy in which everyone has a secret...(hint: they're all gay). On the outside it's a typical high school with science fairs, basketball games, and homecoming dances, but below the surface it's filled with secrets, betrayal, and most importantly DRAMA. Every week's show is a brand new episode, in which best friends Troy and Leslie navigate the fraught hallways of their school.
