Looking to start your comedy writing journey – but not ready to commit to a full term of classes? Writing 1A offers a flexible, 4-week introduction to the fundamentals of sketch comedy writing.
You’ll learn how to generate original ideas, identify strong comic premises, and build simple sketch outlines using the 5-Point Structure. Each week, you’ll practice writing on your own and with others, experiment with character and dialogue, and start to understand what makes a scene work.
You’ll also get hands-on experience pitching your ideas and giving and receiving constructive feedback in a supportive, collaborative setting. Writing 1A covers the first half of the full Writing 1 course, making it a great option for anyone curious about sketch writing and looking for a shorter time commitment to begin.
