For a decade, The Second City has enlisted Chicago's best improvisers and their musical counterparts to create twenty-four consecutive hours of the best improvised live art you will see in the city. This unique event raises money and gives hope to disenfranchised Chicago families on Christmas day.

There will be great raffle prizes, unique auction items and children improvising at 7:00am.

This event is open to all ages. Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door from 6pm on Tuesday December 6 throughout the event as long as seats are available.

Event will stream live at http://letterstosantachicago.com with a suggested $10 Paypal donation.
