When “The Best of Second City” comes to Detroit, May 8, feature sketches will include those originally written and performed by Second City alumni: Alan Arkin, Barbara Harris, and Joel Grey.
The troupe, which specialized in satirical and topical humor, is being brought to Detroit by the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church. The performance will be held at the Detroit Institute of Arts Auditorium, 5200 Woodward on May 8, and will begin at 8:30 p.m.
All seats are reserved. Make checks payable to the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church, 17150 Maumee, Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Orchestra seats $5.00. Balcony seats $4.00.
The Court Theatre Players will leave their home at the Ligget School on Friday, May 6, to perform Jules Fiefer’s “Harry the Rat with Women” and scenes from Barbara Garson’s “MacBird.”
The “Evening with the Court Players” will be presented free to the public by Wayne State’s Friday Night Coordinating Committee (FNCC).
“Harry the Rat” has been a popular revival for the Court Theatre series and “MacBird” has recently opened in New York, San Francisco and London.
Because the evening’s entertainment will be without charge, FIFTH ESTATE readers should plan on arriving at Comm. Arts Aud. before the curtain rises at 8:00 p.m. at WSU.
