INTRO TO SITCOM WRITING
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of sitcom writing through the structure of a writers' room. Each week, students will bring in work toward a spec episode of a sitcom currently on the air. Students will leave this class with an understanding of sitcom structure, terminology, and how a professional writers' room works, as well as with a solid draft of a spec script.
NOTE: Students must come to the FIRST session with a logline for their proposed spec script (think: how the episode would be described on your DVR - just one sentence about the main storylines of the episode).
Pre-requisite: Completion of Sketch 201
