Writing 1 focuses on comedic theory, idea generation (including the use of improvisation), the basics of writing for performance (dialogue, characters, scenic formatting and structure) as well as an introduction to the tenets of live performance. Emphasis is placed on understanding the mechanics of theatrical scenes, character development and the student's practical creative process. There will be homework outside of the classroom.

"I have learned, enjoyed, and been inspired by the instructors at the Annoyance."

- J. Goudy

"I am a student in , and I'm not a theater person, yet my experience has been remarkable --even life-changing ... My teacher is extermely supportive. I never feel stupid or wrong. The class gives me the courage to take risks and expand my behavior into new areas. My lens on the world has changed: many more parts of life than I had thought are just plain funny!"

- P. Novick, PhD.D. Min

"I am always taken back by Mick's candor and vulnerability - he is inspiring to me, because he is himself all the time. No pretenses, no apologies. A whole person. And he is able to be present and be there with you, always trying to help you grow. Always supportive. "

- A. Black

"I have appreciated every minute of class. Some are terrifying, others are joyful. This is a GREAT PROGRAM! Who knows what will happen next, but this has been wonderful. For my first taste of improv, this was the best choice."
