Instructor: TV, Film Actor, & Sketch Writer & Director, John Patrick Hayden, (YOUNGER, FLEISHMAN’S IN TROUBLE, DAREDEVIL)
Your instructor, John Patrick, has directed sketch comedy troupes in NYC that have won various awards!
Through improv games, students learn to create characters & story lines that come to life!
In our "SNL Style Class" bring in characters and John Patrick will help craft these ideas into sketch scenarios.
Lots of Oscar Winning actors have appeared on SNL.
This class is an incredible way to build muscles that will be helpful to you as an actor in other aspects of our profession, such as:
• in live performance when things go awry
• in auditions when a casting director asks you to improv
• on-set when your director asks you to improv
• when you’re on a sketch show and you have to roll w/ the punches & often use improv as a tool
Final SNL Style Showcase w/ Talent Reps
On the last day, we emulate an SNL show with different sketches and characters YOU created. Loved ones & a few Scouting Talent Reps will be in attendance!
