Write The Real Stuff
Class Description:
Get DEEP with your sketch writing! This is a class designed for you to write sketches that are true to you and your life. We’ll work out the best way for you to express what you want to say, then naturally, how to say it in the funniest way possible! Write about your personal experiences. Write about your most embarrassing moments. Write about the people in your life who make you crazy. Write about your angers, your frustrations, your fears, your sadness. Write the real stuff! Take “Truth in Comedy” to a new level! As always we’ll aim to make this process a joy and always remember that COMEDY should be FUN!
Ideally you have some sketch writing experience, but it’s not a requirement.
