SITCOM SPEC SCREEN WRITING CLASS
3. TV SITCOM WRITING [Register]
The goal of this class is a sitcom spec script of a currently running show, whether single-camera, four-camera, single-camera (cable) or animated--suitable for submission to literary agents, network executives and/or TV executive producers; and to that end the student has complete access to all that The Comedy Lab and The iO West have to offer, including a live staged reading of the student's completed script during one of The Comedy Lab Live performances on any given Sunday evening. Here's how it shakes out week-to-week: the student choses a show and creates six pitches (1st week); a single pitch is chosen and then partially outlined (2nd week); a detailed, scene-by-scene outline is completed (3rd week); special focus on the cold opening, the act break and the tag (4th week); completion of first half (5th week); completion of second half (6th week); brutal rewrites (7th week); and, developing a business plan (8th week); all of which starts with the opportunity for the student to stage a reading of his or her spec and solicit audience reactions during the before mentioned Comedy Lab Live!
