SKETCH 101: Intro to Sketch Comedy

Have you ever wanted to try writing sketch comedy but weren't sure how to start? Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned writer looking to learn a new form, or a creative looking to refocus your technique in an encouraging, collaborative atmosphere, this class is for you. SKETCH 101 focuses on the fundamentals of sketch comedy writing, including idea generation, brainstorming, comic premises and sketch structure. On the last night of class, students can invite family and friends to an open rehearsal and observe a sketch comedy director stage your material with a cast of local actors and comedians. We recommend you bring a notebook or laptop for in-class exercises and writing assignments.
