If you haven’t witnessed any of the previous Sketch 22s, here’s a taste of what to expect.
Friday night, July 13, 10 teams of writers will be assigned settings and circumstances on which they will compose a comedy sketch, which then will be cast, directed, rehearsed and finally performed beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 14.
From the January show, we share two videos. The first follows a sketch – “Last Day in Atlantis” – from conception through rehearsal. The second shows the performance.
The next Sketch 22 starts at 7 p.m., Saturday, July 14, at ComedySportz, 420 S. 1st St. Admission is $10 at the door. The entire project involves dozens of Milwaukee theater talent randomly combined to bring out the best in one another.
Proceeds benefit the seventh annual Milwaukee Comedy Festival, Aug. 3-11, at the Next Act Theatre space, in Milwaukee’s Fifth Ward.
