Writing 2 (Online)Level: 2

Writing 2 builds on the foundation for scenic comedy writing established in Writing 1 by expanding on scenic types, writing to cast and running order, and writing through collaboration. Students who understand the structure of a show are able to better write to the needs of a show and its cast. Writing 2 provides students with an understanding of the different types of scenes found in a Second City-style sketch comedy revue. The lens of the course is focused on the Cast and the Characters. Understanding scenic formulas, writing to cast size, and character point-of-view. Students practice creating simple structures with relatable characters as they learn the building blocks of a sketch revue. Students also work with one another to develop scenes as collaboration is a cornerstone of the Second City creation process.
