Building upon the core concepts outlined in Intro To Sketch Writing, Writer’s Room introduces students to large cast & solo sketch formats with a sharper focus on rewriting and technical refinement. Over eight weeks students will work in a highly collaborative environment punching up other’s ideas, developing their specific comedic point of view and sharpening their work into lean comedic pieces.
Each student will be required to put up a piece of their work as part of one of TIC’s sketch shows - performed by either themselves or by casting actors.
