Naturally, improvisation is sometimes like swimming without your limbs--you just sink. But when it works, you fly, and without instruments. Second City took flight on a December night in 1959, opening in a converted laundry on North Wells Street, not far from the present, more spacious theater.

In appearance, it recalls a Victorian men's club, with a generous use of mahogany and brass, both in the spacious lobbies and within its two auditoriums. The seats--between 1,815 and 2,000 in the larger, depending on the configuration of the stage--are a warm shade called terra cotta, and a blue patterned carpet covers most of the floors. Given the prevailing climate in Minnesota during the concert...
