Description
Premises, Premises with Suzi Barrett
This workshop will meet Monday, June 22nd from 7-10pm

Practice pulling clear, simple premises from monologues, interviews, and other source material and initiating your idea clearly so that your scenes are off and running from the very start. Learn how to honor your own comedic genius and set your ideas up for success so you and your scene partner can have a blast exploring and heightening together. If you do premise work at all in your shows, this workshop will quickly elevate them—guaranteed!
