An advanced acting class in the art of performing comedy. Building on the basics of Acting I, this course will examine how the fundamentals of acting are adapted to playing a heightened comedic text.  Students will be introduced to a broad range of comedic performance, past and present, from sketch comedy to standup to films and television, developing a vocabulary of reference points, styles, and approaches to be applied in their rehearsals of the text.  The course will culminate in a public presentation of the play. Roles may be shared.
