Tickets for tonight’s SCTV Reunion might be sold out, but you can still catch some of Second City’s alumni next week in the company’s 8th annual event The Second City That Never Sleeps: Letters to Santa.

The show, which puts a cap on this weekend’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, will feature more than just improv. Guest artists are scheduled to perform throughout the event - we’re most excited for Jeff Tweedy at 7pm and Upright Citizen’s Brigade’s Asssscat at midnight.

You can check out the full schedule and buy tickets here. Your $15 gets you in for 24 hours and helps buy presents for needy children - what else do you need? (Oh, right, of course - booze is available 6pm-2am and noon-6pm.)
