THEA 10.71 Plays OnStage: Acting Comedy
An advanced acting class in the art of performing comedy. Building on the basics of Acting I, this course will examine how the fundamentals of acting are adapted to playing a heightened comedic text. Students will be introduced to a broad range of comedic performance, past and present, from sketch comedy to standup to films and television, developing a vocabulary of reference points, styles, and approaches to be applied in their rehearsals of the text. The course will culminate in a public presentation of the play. Roles may be shared.
