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. 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 and working on rewrites throughout the
session.
Class Size: Max of 12 Students.
