Sketch Writing Workshop (Online Class)

We here at Crawlspace Theatre are adding to the governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order, and we’re calling it “Stay Home, Stay Safe, Start Sketch Writing!” That’s right, we’re once again offering our popular Sketch Writing Workshop, and, this time, it’s available exclusively online!

With group discussions and exercises–all done remotely, through an online conferencing tool (all students will receive access information via email)–as well as writing outside of the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to create THREE different comedy sketches, each one benefiting from both group and one-on-one feedback. And, in a Crawlspace Theatre first, the workshop will end with an online, public reading of one sketch from each writer!
