Level 1
Term 1 2010 - Called "Having All The Fun", Joe Janes will guide writers through a process of creating a show and then the thrill of performing their own material. In this class, students will learn how to best write for themselves and their ensemble. They will also learn when to focus on being a writer and when to focus on being a performer.
There are additional auditions on Sunday, January 3, 2010 at 1pm. Qualified students who sign up to audition need to bring hardcopies of a 3-5 page sketch writing sample and an actor/improv resume to the Training Center. Headshot preferred but not required. The show will be presented in the second half of Term 2 2010. Stop by the Training Center office or call us at 312-664-3959 to set up an audition appointment.
Prerequisites
