Make 'Em Laugh

Make ‘Em Laugh

July 10-11

If we believe the great scholar Charlie Chaplin when he said, “A day without laughter is a day wasted,” this class will help make sure you don’t waste a moment here at the Festival! This season is silly with comedies, and we are taking advantage of the hijinks to look at what it takes to make ‘em laugh. From Loco-motion for Murder to The Comedy of Errors and Shrek, dig into comedic styles in the theatre with guests from the season’s comedies while we consider why the genre is so crucial in understanding culture and current events.
