The Crow offers middle schoolers the opportunity to learn professional stand-up comedy by developing their personal comedic voice and point of view! This course helps young adults learn joke structure, technique, and comedy writing formulas while creating their own material. Students will learn the concepts of building a story, premise, and punch line all while gaining confidence in public speaking and communication. We work on stage presence, finding courage to keep going when the going gets rough, thinking on your feet, and finding the funny structurally! This 6 week course meets once a week for 2 hours, culminating in a public stand-up/storytelling show at The Crow’s main stage.
