SUMMARY:Sketch Coven
DESCRIPTION:Sketch Coven is a meetup and workshop for sketch comedians. Each month\, we get together at Kickstand Comedy to read scripts in progress\, give supportive feedback\, and help develop a fun\, vibrant sketch community here in Portland. \nClick to sign up as a writer\, actor\, or just to observe and meet new people. \nWriters bring drafts of their work for the group\, including actors and acting-curious improvisers\, to table read. Facilitators will provide feedback\, then open discussion. \n\nWhether you have a completed script\, a rough draft\, or just a loose concept you’d like to flesh out\, Sketch Coven is a place to develop your sketch skills – don’t be shy!\n\nWe prioritize scripts from first timers and revised drafts of sketches we’ve read at previous meetings. Expect to only have one script read\, but feel free to bring more. We’ll do our best to get through as many as we can in the time we have. \nEvery 4th Saturday of the month. \nSuggested donation is $10 to support this and other Kickstand programs. Payment/ticket purchase is not required to attend\, but please be sure to RSVP with your info.\n\nDISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SKETCH CLASS OR SHOW. While we want this to be a constructive experience for everyone\, Sketch Coven doesn’t teach a set curriculum. If you’re looking to learn the basics of sketch writing\, we recommend you take Kickstand’s classes

SUMMARY:Red\, White\, & Blaine!
DESCRIPTION:Exactly 30 years ago the townspeople of Blaine came together to celebrate their special small town in the Christopher Guest cult classic\, Waiting For Guffman. Under the meticulous direction of off-off-off broadway legend\, Corky St. Clair\, they told the history of Blaine using the very best (local) talent. \nNow\, for ONE NIGHT ONLY\, we bring Red\, White\, and Blaine to Portland. Be a Blaine-ite for the night as we put on a full recreation of the play — with hits such as “Stools” and “Nothing Ever Happens on Mars” plus special never-been-seen-before scenes & surprises. We’ll have an exorbitant amount of costumes\, sets\, balloons\, and of course a seat reserved for Mort Guffman (fingers crossed he shows!) \nImagine singing\, clapping\, and laughing along in a room full of people who love this perfect film just as much as you do. Well now you can! This Fourth of July\, we bleed red\, white\, and Blaine. \nFeaturing: \nRandy Smith\nRoland Mechanik\nLucas Salazar\nDiana Kolsky\nWilly Weltner\nMariah Mercedes Muñoz\nJhordan Blumenberg\nNolan Good\nCraig McCarthy\nDana Murphy\nTony Cohen\nJerilyn Armstrong

SUMMARY:Sketch Coven
DESCRIPTION:Sketch Coven is a meetup and workshop for sketch comedians. Each month\, we get together at Kickstand Comedy to read scripts in progress\, give supportive feedback\, and help develop a fun\, vibrant sketch community here in Portland. \nClick to sign up as a writer\, actor\, or just to observe and meet new people. \nWriters bring drafts of their work for the group\, including actors and acting-curious improvisers\, to table read. Facilitators will provide feedback\, then open discussion. \n\nWhether you have a completed script\, a rough draft\, or just a loose concept you’d like to flesh out\, Sketch Coven is a place to develop your sketch skills – don’t be shy!\n\nWe prioritize scripts from first timers and revised drafts of sketches we’ve read at previous meetings. Expect to only have one script read\, but feel free to bring more. We’ll do our best to get through as many as we can in the time we have. \nEvery 4th Saturday of the month. \nSuggested donation is $10 to support this and other Kickstand programs. Payment/ticket purchase is not required to attend\, but please be sure to RSVP with your info.\n\nDISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SKETCH CLASS OR SHOW. While we want this to be a constructive experience for everyone\, Sketch Coven doesn’t teach a set curriculum. If you’re looking to learn the basics of sketch writing\, we recommend you take Kickstand’s classes
