Take your sketch writing from the page to the stage! This immersive 8-week course is designed to guide you through the full creative process—from idea to live performance.
Over the course of 8 weeks, students will pitch ideas, write and revise sketches, cast roles, rehearse, and ultimately perform a 60-minute Sketch Comedy Show. You’ll act in each other’s material, learn the basics of show production, and collaborate as an ensemble to bring your comedy to life.
Whether you're a writer, performer, or both, this course is your chance to experience the full arc of sketch comedy—from the first laugh in the writers’ room to the final applause on stage.
