POV without LTF
Saturday, July 14 10:00 am-12:30 pm
$35
Focus on writing scenes that present your point of view without losing the funny. Often a
well-intentioned satirical scene falls flat because it’s preachy or predictable, or both. Worse yet,
it’s a wanna-be-edgy scene, which turns out to be offensive (to comedians). Through analysis
of examples from television, stage, and personal experience, get down to getting what you want
to get out of a scene without being comedically clumsy.
Some experience with improv and/or sketch comedy required.
