About The Director:
Alessandra Vite is a writer, actor, director, and sketch comedian. She teaches improv and sketch comedy writing and performance with Humber College, Bad Dog, and The Second City Training Centre - where she’s directed several revues for their Conservatory Program. Alessandra is also an alumna of The Second City Touring Company, a former head writer of The Sketchersons, and has toured the North American festival circuit with her troupe The FlirtyBoys. Her first two Sketch Ensemble cohorts with Bad Dog (Owl Citizens & MILK!) were both featured at the subsequent Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival.

Program Description:This program focuses on the creation of comedy sketches and creating a full-length show. The ensemble will work with their director to conceive ideas, write material, develop it through improvisation and ensemble work, and put it on-stage. Through this process, students will: get reps turning ideas into polished, audience-ready final product, create and collaborate effectively in a writers room setting, elevate their live performance skills, benefit from working closely with a new ensemble, use their improv fundamentals as a writing tool, deepen their understanding of the theory behind the form, create dozens of great comedy sketches, and have fun in the process.

Program Goal:To develop an understanding of sketch comedy structure, learn a process to develop ideas into performable sketches, and work together to create a written sketch comedy show.
