Behind the Scenes

Shot on location at the Second City Cleveland with main stage cast members. The premise was laid out, and all dialogue was improvised. Please note the dolly shot. Derek, our first A.D., carried the dolly track up 6 flights of stairs so you could see it.

The end credits song is "McCawley" by the Lucky 13 Band. For more info on the Lucky 13 Band - click here
