This holiday season, enter a colorful, wondrous world populated by hilariously unforgettable characters and discover the story of the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomach. DreamWorks' TROLLS is a fresh, broad comedy filled with music, heart and hair-raising adventures. In November of 2016, nothing can prepare you for our new Troll world.

The Stand Up For Pits Foundation is thrilled to be bringing Stand Up For Pits back to Arlington VA! The SUFP Foundation is dedicated to ending abuse, discrimination and saving the lives of pitbull "type" dogs. This "type" of dog based soley on appearance is the target of extreme abuse, bans and has been falsely vilified for over 3 decades. Stand Up For Pits events help us to educate, advocate and save lives. Pitbull type dogs are born inherently good and deserve to be protected, respected and treated with compassion and without prejudice like all life deserves. - See more at: http://arlingtondrafthouse.com/drafthouse/event.aspx?eid=1695#sthash.X0EDPK3i.dpuf

--- Sketch & Improv Classes ---

Sketch Comedy has been the cornerstone for comedy creativity for many years, including Late Night talk shows, SNL, Monty Python, MadTV, and more. Join us for our Level 1 Sketch Writing course with veteran Stephen Hale. Students will get stage time to perform their material in front of a live audience at Drafthouse Comedy in DC and/or the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. Additionally, willing students can form in house troops and perform along national headliners as they continue to develop their skills. Time to get your creative comic juices flowing.

This course in an introduction to sketch comedy, writing short comedic scenes, rehearsing and working towards building a show that the students will perform in.  Each week students will explore different sketch formats and be asked, each week, to bring in a new sketch based on a specific format.
 
The goal of Drafthouse Comedy Level 1 Sketch Writing is to push students to not be afraid to fail in their writing, make big choices and take risks. Finding your own voice through the guidance and support of your teacher is what we strive to have you achieve.
 
The course will run for 8 total weeks.  5 weeks of writing, discussing and collaborating on new material.  2  weeks of rehearsing and exploring chosen sketches for the show and the final show, which will be held on the last day (8th week) of class.  
 
No prior sketch writing experience is necessary - the only requirement for this class is a desire to write, perform and learn.  Students should be prepared to work outside of class, writing new sketches, for the first 5 weeks of class. 
 
Class Size: Max of 10 Students. Tuesdays 7pm - 930pm (Feb. 21st, 28th, March 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, April 4th, April 11th)

For more information please contact Stephen Hale: sdbhale@gmail.com

Everyone has their own challenges. We'll discover and help you to overcome your personal improv issues and habits. You'll get unique, instant and direct feedback to help you learn the specific skills you need to work on. The fun is that each time you're given a new challenge, you'll feel yourself rising to the task more quickly and easily than before and experience. You'll feel yourself growing in the moment.
The goal, after completing LEVEL 3, is that students will discuss forming their own improv troupes.

This course will run for 8 weeks including a student showcase.

Permission of instructor is required.

Class Size: 12 people
