Special Experiences for Groups

Inside the Writers' Room - a Sketch Comedy Bootcamp at the Brave New Workshop
Looking for a truly unique, hands-on experience for your next group activity? We're now offering an amazing chance to peek behind the scenes and try sketch comedy writing for yourself!

We call it "Inside the Writer's Room." This 2-hour participatory experience goes way beyond the traditional backstage tour! You’ll get to practice our fun and engaging tricks of the trade, like improv and brainstorming. Actual Brave New Workshop mainstage performers will help you learn to silence your inner critic and rediscover your own creativity – with lots of laughs along the way.

It's available by appointment only, it's perfect for social groups, clubs, students, tour groups, and celebrations... so what are you waiting for?

We also offer a fun, experiential activity through our school of improv, the BNW Student Union! It's called "Exploring Improv," check it out HERE!

Why "Inside?"

"Inside the Writers' Room" is fun, engaging, hands-on, and a great way to get your group involved in an unforgettable experience.

It's perfect for fans of comedy, students of the creative process- really just about anybody. It's a great alternative for groups for whom our mainstage sketch comedy shows aren't a good fit. Or, combine it with show tickets for a full-on, Brave New Workshop comedy immersion!
