Will this handsome new home help Second City Toronto find a strong second wind as it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in Canada under new American ownership?
In the sprawling space originally earmarked for a Target Canada , the comedy club and training centre has swooped in as an anchor tenant of this 35-floor Toronto tower with a 15-year lease.
On the day I visited, a windowed wall had just been installed in the full-service restaurant area , overlooking the new Love Park that Waterfront Toronto is building where a Gardiner off-ramp used to be and, beyond that, Lake Ontario itself. After all, the planning for this expanded footprint in Toronto began in 2019 under the previous long-time ownership – comprised of the trio of Canadian expats, Andrew Alexander, D’Arcy Stuart and Steve Johnson.
The new leadership does have its eyes on other markets for Second City, too, however, and indeed the first big announcement of Wells’s tenure as CEO was in October that the comedy powerhouse will be opening up a theatre and training centre in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn in the summer of 2023.
