scriptwriting for live performance The Brave New Workshop has nearly 50 years experience writing original scripts for sketch comedy performance. In fact, it is a tradition; and many of the theatre's alumni are among the most prolific comedy writers and producers in Hollywood. That same comedic writing tradition is reflected and embraced by our corporate services team. Using the creative processes that have ignited our mainstage shows for nearly five decades, our team of writer/actors create and perform original, hilarious and corporate-appropriate comedy for a wide variety of clients.

scriptwriting for video Years ago, one of our premiere clients approached us to assist them with a video training project. They were not pleased with the creative services company they had hired and thought that perhaps Brave New Workshop improvisers would be able to "jazz" up the script they had received by adding a bit of improv to the actor performances. Alas, the script was beyond help and we felt that no matter what we did, the script was just too fuzzy and un-funny to be saved. So, instead of participating in a project that we felt had little chance for success, our team offered to re-write the script within 24 hours. The company could not have been more pleased and a new product was added to our growing corporate services line up.

Since then, the Brave New Workshop has completed hundreds of video projects and worked with our clients on custom projects that range from internal training videos celebrating diversity, to “mockumentaries” used to rally fans of a major league baseball team. We don't just hand you the script and walk away. The Brave New Workshop team works closely with our clients AND production companies to ensure quality execution. We can work with your internal production facility or source the video production ourselves through one of our talented production partners.

the process A BNW creative director will gather information through questionnaires and personal interviews to incorporate specific messages and “insider information” into scripted material. Custom scripts generally go through two “treatments” where your representatives give input to the Brave New Workshop Creative Director, and the Creative Director develops scripts accordingly. All material is subject to final client review.
