Class Description

IIn this four-week class, Late Night writer Peter Grosz will guide you through the process of creating a writing packet for the late night show of your choice. You'll learn what goes into a packet and practice each week on the different aspects. Monologue Jokes, Desk Pieces, Sketches, etc. You will be given prompts and receive direct feedback from Peter on crafting your material for a currently airing late night show. At the end of this course, you will have a complete packet and the knowledge of how to update the content of that packet over time.

Due to the nature of this course, participants should have access to web-based document sharing utilities like Drop Box or Google Drive.
