INTRO TO SKETCH
- Reserve
- Details
TUESDAYS 6:30pm – 9:30pm
This class will focus on the fundamentals of sketch writing, including idea generation, brainstorming, comic premises and sketch structure. Whether you’re a beginning writer, a seasoned writer looking to learn a new form, or just want to refocus your writing in an encouraging, collaborative atmosphere, this class is for you. Through class exercises and assignments, students will learn to write comedy sketches from beginning to end. We recommend brining a laptop or tablet to class but a notebook works too!
The class show on May 10 will feature staged readings of students' sketches performed by a cast of Arcade actors.
