The Second City Detroit was a comedy theatre and training center located in the Detroit suburb Novi, Michigan. It was the Second City's third mainstage theatre in North America following the Second City Chicago and Toronto.[1] Originally established in September 1993 in downtown Detroit, Michigan,[1]the theatre relocated to a strip mall in Novi in 2005, where it remained until it was disbanded in 2009.
