Moonwatchers at Greenhouse Theater Center
Two middle-aged guys whose entire job is watching the moon—sounds absurd until you realize it's actually profound. *Moonwatchers* is an ingeniously quirky original play about routine, disruption, and what happens when the predictable suddenly shifts, and you'll find yourself laughing at the absurdity while your chest tightens at the truth underneath. The Greenhouse Theater Center's intimate Lincoln Park space is perfect for this kind of character-driven magic—the kind of evening where you leave thinking about moon-watching in a completely different way. Runs through late May; all ages welcome.
This is a recurring event. Next occurrence: Thursday, June 4, 2026

The Best of The Second City
You'll catch The Second City at their peak on Saturday in Old Town—where sketch comedy writers literally invented the format that's shaped Saturday Night Live and beyond. The energy is infectious, the bar scene buzzes with people actually laughing out loud (not doom-scrolling), and you're watching the comedy hotbed that's launched everyone from Tina Fey to Key & Peele.
