Doors at 6:45 PM || “Writing”/Pitching at 7:00 PM || FREE Creative Experience
Please bring: Your sense of humor, something to write on, and something to write with!

Participants get a complimentary beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program, because comedy should be loose, not thirsty!

Looking to stretch your creative muscles? Just want some free funny on a Wednesday night? You’re in luck! The Sherbino is launching a brand-new program: Sherbino Writers Room: Sketch Comedy!

Led by long-time Sherbino Night Live writer and local comedic comrade Lexi Trachy, this drop-in writing group welcomes anyone interested in writing (or just laughing through) sketch comedy. Whether you’re a seasoned joke-slinger or just sketch-curious, no experience is necessary; everyone is welcome!

Meetings will take place in October on the 8th and the 29th at 7:00 pm.

What to expect from a Writers Room session:

• Table reads of group work  
• Group idea sharing and editing
• Brainstorming games and inspiration exercises
• Collaborative idea-sharing
• Laughs (hopefully)

Let’s get writing. Let’s get weird. Let’s get funny again.

 Sept 3 Assignment:

• Watch these handy videos to get “warm” before coming to the meetings:

• Pick a direction and go deeper:
  • Develop a sketch, character, or scene based on:
    1. The Tourism Council / Marketing Theme, or
    2. The Family Vacation Narrative
• Open Questions for the Group
  • What is the arc of the family vacation? Where do they start and where do they end?
  • How do the tourism board and family storylines intersect?
  • What’s the climax of the show? Does it end with the EurAvision contest?
  • What surprises or twists could we include in the finale?
