Second City Bob Curry Fellowship
Second City has launched its first free fellowship to spur interest in improv from actors of color.

From John Belushi and Gilda Radner... to Tina Fey, Second City has launched the careers of some comedic 'greats'... and while they've long had a program to scout for diverse talent... this year, Second City launched its first -free- fellowship, to get even more actors of color interested in Improv. Bob Curry was Second City's first African-American cast member back in the 60's. This winter, the famous Improv comedy company launched a Fellowship program in Curry's name. 16 Curry 'fellows' were selected to receive 8 weeks of training. On the final night, all of the fellows put on a showcase of some of the best Second City sketches from the last 50 years! Second City will again offer this fellowship program in 2015!
