Letters to Santa @ Second City e.t.c.

Letters to Santa, the Second City's annual 24-hour improv and music charity show, begins tonight at 6pm at Second City's e.t.c. Theater, 1608 N. Wells St., and runs through 6pm Tuesday. The improv will feature SC alumni such as TJ Jagodowski, Kate James, Horatio Sanz and Fred Armison, and musical guests will include Jeff Tweedy, Kim and Kelley Deal with Carrie Bradley, AC Newman and Bonny Prince Billy. Tickets are $20 cash at the door, maximum two, and guarantee you a seat as long as there's one for you -- you can come and go, but you'll be back in line with the rest of the crowd when you return. The show will be streamed live on the web, and there's also an online and in-person auction for such items as a living room concert by Jeff Tweedy, meetings with Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant and two tickets to "SNL," and one-on-one startup advice from Groupon founder Andrew Mason.
