In 2021, the Second City was purchased by the private equity hucksters at ZMC, & iO was purchased by two local real estate hucksters. In 2022, the Upright Citizens Brigade was purchased by Elysian Park Ventures (a subsidiary of the LA Dodgers (a subsidiary of Guggenheim Baseball (a subsidiary of Guggenheim Capital))), in a move co-headed by Hollywood huckster James McAvoy.

SC & iO are now at the five-year mark, when typically private acquisitors in the US begin looking for an exit; typically, sale or dissolution. UCB is at the four-year mark.

Which of these institutions will suffer a final indignity first? Whose parent company/group will realize a profit, off of the husk of its purchase?

Market will be resolved when one of these theatres is sent to its businessly grave.

Contrarian option added, for the delight of all the contrarian bettors on this failing website.
