Legendary improvisational comedy troupe hits Classic City
By PATRICK HOOPER
The Red & Black
What do Steve Carell, Tina Fey and
Bill Murray all have in common?
Their careers were kick started by the
Second City Comedy Troupe, which per
forms tonight at Ramsey Concert Hall.
After partnering with the University
Union for homecoming in 2002, the
troupe now takes the stage at the
Performing Arts Center. This week's
show kicks off the PAC's Off-Broadway
series, which eschews the traditional
symphonic performances in favor of more
comedic acts.
Bobby Tyler, marketing and media
relations director for the PAC, says the
Off-Broadway series will give the Center
a chance to explore new possibilities and
gauge audience interest for more shows
of that stripe. Once the Second City
wraps, the PAC will host the Reduced
Shakespeare Company and the Water
Coolers.
Though the performance halls will
always focus on the music they were
designed to house, Tyler attributed the
move into unusual territory to Director
George C. Foreman, who wanted to use
the PAC’s space to show anew kind of
performance to the University crowd.
Tyler said he was especially excited
about the Second City, which has kick
started the careers of many media
giants.
“This is a showcase for up-and-com
ing comedians,” he said. “The people
you’ll see on Monday and Tuesday sire
going to be on [Saturday Night Live]
and making movies in a few years.”
Cast member Tim Stoltenberg said he
is just as excited about coming to
Athens, having joined the troupe three
years ago too late to participate in the
2002 show. However, he has heard noth-

ing but praise for the town from his cast
mates, who fondly looked back on the
experience.
Stoltenberg said this year’s Fair and
Unbalanced tour should be particularly
entertaining for audiences, given the
political climate. However, being a come
dy group from Chicago doesn’t give them
a liberal agenda.
“We’re not trying to bash one side or
the other,” he said, emphasizing the need
to take a satirical eye to the political pro
cess as a whole. Stoltenberg described
the act as a mix-and-match of archive
material, some of it as much as 15 years
old, and brand-new content generated
by cast members and approved by the
director.
“Our director puts together a show
that fits the theme and the cast,” said
Stoltenberg, who admitted this feat is
usually easier said than done. With the
tour having begun in late summer and
early fall, the cast has had to adjust to
new political scandals and faux pas that
just had to be incorporated into the bit,
which he described as both fun and chal
lenging.
Whether apolitical or card-carrying
Republicans, audience members will
have a chance to participate in the show,
which, by Stoltenberg’s estimation, con
sists of approximately 25 percent impro
vised material based on audience sugges
tions.
Stoltenberg encouraged participants
to remain as genuine and true to their
own lives as possible, as that will give
them the most original material to work

Athens welcomes healthy chain
Shop features
student favorites
By MELISSA COHEN
The Red & Black
Approximately one year ago, a
University student used social net
working to bring a much loved
California healthy grocery chain to
Athens.
Caitlin Sanders and her friends
signed up at the Trader Joe’s web
site, then started a petition on
Facebook to bring Trader Joe’s, its
trademark Hawaiian shirts and gold
en bell used instead of a PA sys
tem to communicate with employees
to the Classic City.
On Oct. 29, the automatic doors
opened at the new Athens Trader
Joe's, located at 1850 Epps Bridge
Parkway across from Wal-Mart.
The Facebook group, which was
founded on Nov. 9, 2009, now boasts
more than 2,000 members, with most
Joining the group in the first 72 hours.
“All I ever did was request loca
tions, sending Trader Joe’s e-mails
with Facebook groups showing them
that there [was] clearly a desire for a
location here,” said Sanders, a senior
public relations and sociology major

from Marietta. “The Facebook group
members were really involved, post
ing stuff downtown, and [maintain
ing] excitement. There had always
been rumors and it was speculative
for a while, so I’m thrilled Trader
Joe’s is finally here.”
The vibe at any Trader Joe’s is
one of neighborhood friendliness
and accessible enthusiasm. Each
store involves itself in its own
respective communities by decorat
ing with local art and promoting
local events.
“Everything is my favorite thing
there. I have a favorite yogurt, a
favorite popsicle and a favorite
chicken sausage," said Nicole
Pinsker, a senior fashion merchan
dising major from Atlanta.
Pinsker leapt at the chance to
shop opening day.
“It was a lot of excitement, but
unfortunately there weren’t many
students there because of Oeorgia-
Florida,” she said. “Even still, there
were tons of people, so I can’t wait
to see how all the students will
react. The employees were very
helpftil, offering assistance every two
seconds.”
Aside from produce, bakery and
dairy products, the individually
wrapped frozen meals are Trader
Joe’s signature items.

He said the funniest suggestion to
date on the tour was likely the shout of
“taxidermist” when the troupe asked
what someone’s grandfather did.
The company had never heard some
thing like that before, let alone built a
sketch around it, which gave them a
chance to explore something creative
and hilarious.
The PAC has also done its best to try
something creative this year with ticket
sales, which are only $5 a piece with a
valid University ID.

students cooking for one, and
Trader Joe’s offers items not typical
ly found in the frozen section, such
as bacon wrapped steak bites and
Indian cuisine.
“I think that the two most impor
tant things for Trader Joe’s for stu
dents [are] the low prices and how
easy it is to make meals for stu
dents,” explained Sanders. “I know
when I go shopping at other places,
I don’t have a cohesive meal, just
food that didn’t really go together.
Everything is really fresh, with lots
of vegetarian and vegan options.”
Label brands such as Easy-Mac
and Cheeto’s are not available, since
Trader Joe’s boasts its own label. It
is because of this that its prices are
significantly reduced.
“I’m a vegetarian, and Trader
Joe’s lias wonderful veggie options,”
Sanders said. “My favorite thing at
Trader Joe’s overall is this stuff
called Soy Chorizo and it’s $1.99. It’s
sort of like sausage, but really spicy.
We make sloppy joes, spaghetti
sauce and stuff like that.”
Although new, Pinsker feels
Trader Joe’s will fit right in.
“I think it will be successful in the
long run, Pinsker said. “Almost every
time I went home, I would stop at
one in Atlanta and stock up for
school. But now, I can buy their pro
duce and everything here.”
Tyler said. Tyler credits President
Michael Adams with helping to make the
discount prices possible through the use
of the President’s discretionary funds,
which have been put to use to give the
PAC a push as it explores new possibili
ties.
With prices like those, Stoltenberg
and company hope audiences will turn
out and contribute in large numbers.
The trick is not going down the beaten
path.
“People always yell out dirty things,”
Stoltenberg said. “We’ve heard ‘penis’ a
million times.”
