anyone center certain couple crowds denver exploring fight folks impressed kinds lines wonder
There's a couple of lines that I wonder if they won't go down with certain kinds of crowds when we're really exploring this fight between the right and the left. The thing that I've been so impressed with Denver Center folks is that they get it, and not once did anyone say that you should try to soften something down.
bulk fair lie people wrote
There's nothing in the show that I don't think is necessarily balanced. It'd be a lie to say that the bulk of the people who wrote it were not of the left, or left-leaning, (but) we try to be as fair as possible.
brave bring choices house
It's one of those choices where, yeah, it's a brave choice, but it could really bring the house down.
fun second time truly
For the audience, that's the most fun time to come to Second City, because truly anything will happen.
couple knowing market papers trying understand wrong
I've done this wrong a couple times, not knowing the market I went into. We have been scouring the papers and trying to understand where it is that we're going.
city front great second
The great thing about Second City is we do write the show in front of the audience.
classes exam language men white
The breast exam never would have made it (in the past), or it would have been the one 'chick scene' in the show. That was the language that would have been used. There's always more men who take classes than women, so there's more white men getting into this business.
detroit
But there's also differences between Detroit and Chicago.
center city college coming denver equity marketing name people promoting red scare second talking theater works
When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.
