INTRO TO SKETCH COMEDY WRITING(for beginning and aspiring writers who have little to no experience in sketch comedy writing):
Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of good sketch writing, with a strong emphasis on the “game” of your scenes. We’ll watch a few classic sketches and discuss what makes them work effectively, then practice pulling ideas for sketches from every day interactions and anecdotes from life.
