Intro to Sketch Comedy
Note: This class does not qualify for a REDO code, as it is not the same class as the “Sketch It!” class from a previous term.
Dip your toes into sketch comedy writing and performance with this introductory six-week class! We’ll look at pitching, writing, rewriting, casting, rehearsing and performance.
Students will work on both solo and collaborative pieces, all ending with a final showcase at Montreal Improv Theatre.
Important Note: Most of the writing and rehearsing will take place outside of class time.
Prerequisite: Longform 2 (or equivalent); if you’re not sure if this includes you and your experience doing improv somewhere else, email education@montrealimprov.com to find out
