About the Class:
Join comedy legend Kevin McDonald for a fast-paced, hands-on workshop that turns improvised scenes into fully formed sketches. Working in small groups, students will improvise scenes, then break them down with Kevin to explore character, game, and comedic structure. You’ll reshape scenes into sketches, run them again with notes, and finish the day by developing and performing your own original sketch based on improv—with feedback from Kevin himself. Perfect for performers and writers looking to sharpen both their improv and sketch skills.
Intermediate improv experience recommended.
