SKETCH
Drop-In
full-length CLASSES
LEVEL 1
This class is for anyone interested in learning the process of writing sketch comedy. Through improv, finding the “game” of a sketch, and writing characters we will polish sketches that will culminate in a staged class show.
LEVEL 2
Learn how to write a sketch revue as an ensemble with a director. This is a process-driven experience, learning through the act of doing the thang by cranking out material on Day 1 and refining it over the course into a fully-realized thematic sketch show with two performances on the Mainstage.
Prerequisite: Completion of BCC Sketch 1 or equivalent experience.
