Project Summary

The Second City’s online platform was redesigned to showcase its rich legacy in improv and sketch comedy, highlight upcoming performances, promote world-class training programs, and connect audiences with a growing schedule of live events and classes in multiple cities. The goal was to present an engaging, accessible destination for fans, students, and theatre-goers to explore shows, enroll in classes, and learn about the institution’s impact on comedy culture.

The site structures information about performances, training opportunities, and professional development programs in a clear, easy-to-navigate way so visitors can find showtimes, class schedules, workshops, and special events with confidence, while reinforcing The Second City’s identity as a timeless hub of creative expression.

We designed and organized the website to support:

  • Listings of live improv and sketch shows in Chicago, Toronto, New York, and touring venues
  • Enrollment information for classes and training programs
  • Educational resources about improv and performance
  • Corporate and professional development programs through Second City Works
  • Easy access to tickets, schedules, and contact info
  • Difficulty presenting a broad range of shows, training, and events in one cohesive online destination

  • Visitors found it hard to explore show schedules and performance details quickly

  • Class and workshop information was not unified with live performance content

  • Lack of clear paths for both casual audience members and serious improv students

  • Limited visibility for professional development and corporate creativity programs

  • Unified Show Listings

    Created centralized pages where users can search and filter improv and sketch performances by city, theatre, and date.

  • Training & Classes Spotlight

    Organized all improv and comedy education offerings — from beginner workshops to advanced courses — in an easy-to-browse format with enrollment details.

  • Professional Development Integration

    Included Second City Works programs for corporations focusing on collaboration, creativity, and team building.

  • Enhanced Navigation

    Improved site structure so visitors can quickly find what they want — shows, classes, ticketing, events, and contact info — without confusion.

  • Clear Calls to Action

    Added obvious CTAs for show booking, class registration, and contact, increasing engagement and conversion.

  • Wordpress
