Work in a supportive setting to develop a comic monologue in the genre of your choice: storytelling, character piece, satire, parody, comic solo theater, standup, or some combination. The workshop meets from 7 to 10:30pm for eight weeks and culminates in a performance. Led by Charlie and Fred Wickham, a monologist and satirist whom Charlie describes as "one of the sharpest, most mischievous comic minds I've had the pleasure to work with." The workshop is open to all levels of experience. Class size is limited, and admission is first come, first served.

To register or for information, call The Marsh Office at 415.641.0235 between 10am and 4pm, Monday thru Friday or download a registration form here.
