Class Description


Feel the joy and satisfaction of getting laughs by putting aside cleverness and simply behaving like a real person. Play grounded no matter the setting, whether your scene is set in the fantasy realm of Glarnia, a C-Town supermarket, or a post-apocalyptic Mad Max wasteland 1,000 years in the future. Find the universal by getting specific, mining details from your real-life experience. In this class you will play truthful, grounded scenes and create characters that are recognizable and relatable to your audience. Play to the top of your intelligence—and get laughs.
