Matt Hovde directs the production, which will run through Oct. 19 on the Hertz stage. An official opening night is set for Sept. 24.

The Atlanta-specific work, written and created by the cast of Second City, "takes a Southern-fried stab at Atlanta, creating a show that reflects the city in all its diversity, complexity and hilarity." The production features additional material by Ed Furman and T.J. Shanoff.

The cast of the two-act satire includes Anthony Irons, Michael Lehrer, Robyn Norris, Amy Roeder, Tim Stoltenberg and Ric Walker. Lisa McQueen serves as musical director.

The Second City is the birthplace of many legendary comedians including Steve Carell, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Mike Myers, John Candy and Tina Fey. Besides being a training ground for high-profile comedians, it has a solid national reputation for irreverent, homegrown sketch comedy.
