Love “Saturday Night Live?” How about “Kids in the Hall?” Got great ideas for a sketch, but don’t know where to start?
Well this class is JUST FOR YOU!

Assignments will require students to generate and develop ideas into written sketches of various forms, and workshop activities will help them strengthen their execution and sharpen their humor. Through the class, students will produce a packet of written sketches that can be performed on stage or produced for video.
