Community Calendar

May 27 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Doors at 6:45 PM || “Writing”/Pitching/Editing at 7:00 PM || FREE Creative Experience
Please bring: Your sense of humor, something to write on, and something to write with!

Participants get a complimentary beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program, because comedy should be loose, not thirsty!
Looking to stretch your creative muscles? Just want some free funny on a Wednesday night? You’re in luck! The Sherbino is launching a brand-new program: Sherbino Writers Room: Sketch Comedy!

Led by long-time Sherbino Night Live writer and local comedic comrade Lexi Trachy, this drop-in writing group welcomes anyone interested in writing (or just laughing through) sketch comedy. Whether you’re a seasoned joke-slinger or just sketch-curious, no experience is necessary; everyone is welcome!

Meetings will take place on the following dates:

May 13 — 7:00–8:30 pm
May 27 — 7:00–8:30 pm
What to expect from a Writers Room session:

Table reads of group work
Group idea sharing and editing
Brainstorming games and inspiration exercises
Collaborative idea-sharing
Laughs (hopefully)
Let’s get writing. Let’s get weird. Let’s get funny again.
