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.
