Prerequisite(s): THTR 130, THTR 220 and THTR 225; by audition only. The focus of this course is to create, rehearse and perform a weekly late-night live comedy show for the Department of Theatre and Dance which consists of improvisational comedy, original sketch comedy and filmed sketches. Students in this course will learn how to conceive, write, pitch, rehearse and perform sketch comedy through collaboration with an ensemble and faculty mentorship. Students will learn how to engage in short and long form improvisation, how to create original and specific characters, and relationships and situations that lead to comic sketches. This course will sharpen improvisational skills, hone comic timing and increase the students' ability to connect with other actors in an impulse moment-to-moment way. It will provide students the unique opportunity to learn the craft of sketch comedy and improv not only in the classroom with an instructor and other actors, but with a live audience through weekly late-night performances.
