She the People – The Resistance Continues – Second City

Tuesday, December 12 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Woolly Mammoth Theatre 641 D Street NW Washington, DC

Don’t miss this she-quel to last year’s Second City production at Woolly Mammoth!! Join your fellow Wildcats to howl with laughter at this all-female comedic show.

After last year’s thoroughly entertaining She the People, The Second City is returning to DC with its latest headlining production, She the People: The Resistance Continues!

This sketch comedy show is created, designed, and performed by an all-funny, all-star team of women. She the People: The Resistance Continues! satirizes the reality of being a woman in this wild world, exploding the myths and misrepresentations surrounding bachelorettes, Beyoncé, the 2020 election, and much more. The Washington Post called it a funny, fiercely political sketch-comedy show and the Chicago Tribune called it empowering entertainment.

The NU Club of DC has secured deeply-discounted group tickets – and a complimentary drink coupon with each ticket – for the evening performance of She the People: The Resistance Continues! on Thursday, December 12th.

Start the holiday season with joy and laughter as you enjoy The Second City in DC!
