(NEWPORT NEWS) — The Office of Student Life at Christopher Newport University presents The Second City performance of "Me the People" at 9 p.m. on September 11 in the Ferguson Center for the Arts at Christopher Newport University.In anticipation of the upcoming national election, The Second City has created a revue that takes a (usually) fair and (sometimes) balanced look at our nation's government, politics and future. "Me the People" examines the foibles of the Left and Right with an eye for the strange, the hypocritical and the ridiculous. The revue is high-energy and filled with up-to-the-minute satire that changes with each day's news.
The Second City is the risk-taking comedy cabaret that opened in Chicago in 1959. Second City's potent impact on theater, film and TV is revealed in its lengthy alumni list, which includes the likes of John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Betty Thomas, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, and Eugene Levy.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased from the Office of Student Life located in the student center on the campus of CNU. For more information call 594-7260 or email osl@cnu.edu.
