The Second City is excited to host our General Auditions for 2026 on March 6th until Monday March 9th at 10am. We are seeking talent to cast as understudies for the Chicago Touring Company and potential upcoming Theatricals projects.
You must be a graduate of an improv and sketch comedy institution (i.e. The Second City Conservatory, iO, UCB, The Pit, The Magnet, The Annoyance Theater, etc.) to be considered for an audition slot. Improv and sketch comedy experience is a plus.
If offered the role of understudy, you must reside in Chicago, IL. We do not pay a relocation fee.
To submit, send your headshot and resume March 6th until Monday March 9th 10am
Any submissions sent before or after the times designated above will not be considered.
If you have conflicts with these dates, there will be another round of auditions in 2027. Those dates are to be determined.
Registration is now closed.
