Description: This program focuses on the creation of comedy sketches and creating a full-length show. The ensemble will work with their director to conceive ideas, write material, develop it through improvisation and ensemble work, and put it on-stage. Through this process, students will: get reps turning ideas into polished, audience-ready final product, create and collaborate effectively in a writers room setting, elevate their live performance skills, benefit from working closely with a new ensemble, use their improv fundamentals as a writing tool, deepen their understanding of the theory behind the form, create dozens of great comedy sketches, and have fun in the process.
