Let’s take a poll. It’s Friday, why not?

If you answered A, B, C or D, consider taking The Comedy of Life, Death & Art this spring at KSW. During the course of this eight-week workshop, you’ll experiment with creative nonfiction essays, film, music, standup comedy, sketch comedy, and other genres, all toward finding your voice and revealing the existing comedy nuggets.

First session is May 5, so sign yourself up now here.

About the instructor: Samantha Chanse is a writer, performer, and organizer with a bunch of years experience working in community arts, as well as working as a theater writer and performer, including sketch and standup comedy. She’s written & performed a couple solo theater pieces, and has done some other stuff. She’s also a former KSW staff person and current KSW board member.
