About this Event
In this course, you will learn the building blocks of writing great sketch comedy. We will look at different sketches from television and stage to see what makes them work and will explore character, setting and the elements of a good scene. By the end of this 8-week course you will translate your idea into a fully fleshed-out sketch.
Prerequisites: None! Email [email protected] with questions.
Dates: This class runs Thursdays from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, starting October 30th and running for 6 weeks. A showcase will be scheduled as an additional opportunity on an evening during the month of December.
Instructor: Cassidy Gresham
Cassidy Gresham is so excited to teach here at the lovely Coalition Theater. She began her writing career at Clemson University, majoring in Psychology and Playwriting. This allowed her to combine two of her favorite things; people watching and writing crazy stories about it. Currently, she runs an indie sketch writing group called "Island of Misfit Sketchers". They just put on their first show, "Sock and Awe" and it was AWESOME! Her goal is to allow students to enjoy a friendly atmosphere and share their works with like-minded weirdos. In her downtime, Cassidy plays with her various critters, dresses her service dog, Hammy, in tiny hats and house manages at the theater.
COST: $185 (Early Bird $165)
