Anne Libera is the Director of Comedy Studies, a unique collaboration between Second City and Columbia College. She joins us for this 2 hour workshop intensive.
"PITCHING BETTER PROMISES."
In this active workshop, we will look at what makes a good comic premise, methods for coming up with comic scene premises, creating premises to be improvised, and how to pitch sketch premises and the best approaches to improvising and re-improvising from a premise. Come to the workshop with a sketch idea to pitch, a note book, and be prepared to improvise.

Her book, The Second City Almanac of Improvisation is published by Northwestern University Press.

Other directing credits include Stephen Colbert's one man show Describing a Circle. She has been an artistic consultant to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry and written for the NPR news quiz show Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
