Sketch Writing Basics (Online) - $99
6 Weeks, July 19th - Aug 23rd, Sundays 2pm-4pm
Instructor: Kenny Gray
This class is for those who want to learn the fundamentals of sketch, leverage their improvised work, or learn a new approach to comedic writing . Over the six sessions, students will learn how to write a "basic" game driven sketch- a structure that eases writing and helps flesh out jokes from your comedic premises. This approach focuses on form over genre so, no matter you comedic sensibilities, this class can help turn your funny thoughts into a stage ready sketches. All sessions will be held over Zoom. Note: This show has no final performance. It is purely a writing class.
About the instructor: Kenny Gray is the owner of Mess + Finesse, a cast member on ImprovBoston's Mainstage, and the producer/head-writer for Somerville Night Live.
Feedback from former students!
"Really solid fundamental way of looking at sketch, and having homework really helped put the fire under my ass to actually write."
"This class was very engaging and I learned a lot. Kenny made it a safe space to learn and grow in by having us collaborate and being pretty encouraging and positive throughout."
"It definitely showed me that I was a lot more capable of writing good content than I thought."
