Buy your tickets early for the show on May 7th featuring the comedy stylings of The Second City comedy troupe. This will be their third year and it will be sold out. This gaspingly funny revue is a modern mix of romance, rancor and everything in between. The Second City knows a few things about love—they’ve been laughing about relationships for more than 55 years. Hooking Up with The Second City makes mirth out of missed connections, girls’ night out adventures, and all the crazy things we do for love. In June, the series ends on the 11th with a performance by Edwin McCain who’s songs are well known through numerous hits. He is one of the most enduring and downright likable entertainers of our generation. For more info and tickets visit www.roswellcac.com. ❍
