SKETCH PACKET WORKSHOP
This six-week workshop will focus on sketch writing fundamentals in both form and content as we discuss the various requirements for most late night comedy television programs. Students will practice writing submission materials for such shows as SNL, The Daily Show, and more, while receiving valuable individual feedback on their work. (Homework will be required.)
You will also learn how to develop your packets for submissions to these shows.
