The final level of the Grad Revue process provides students with the opportunity to experience the active rehearsal process of putting up a Second City-style sketch revue.
Improvisers who have become writers now become actors as they finish shaping their scenes based on their director’s guidance and audience-tested preview performances. Students learn the importance of running order and the technical side of the process including staging, lights and sound cues, and scenic transitions. Most importantly, students learn to create as part of an ensemble, yes-anding one another’s scenes and surrendering ideas for the good of the show.
Grad Revue involves significant work outside of the classroom. This level has has four previews and four performances; please note they take place outside of class time. This class’s shows are scheduled for: Sundays, March 30 and April 6, 13, 20 (previews); April 27 and May 4, 11, 18, 2025 (shows). All dates are subject to change.
