Hollywood, CA. These last few months have been a whirlwind, but I’m overjoyed to be joining the Sunday Company at The Groundlings! After seven years of classes, it feels surreal to have found a place for my quirky sense of humor to thrive. This is a big deal for me and my career, so I’m really thrilled!
I was invited to join after a performance with 12 fellow students in the Advanced Writing Lab.
So many people have shaped this journey. Caring hands have taught, pushed, and supported me along the way. I wouldn’t be here without you. I’m excited for all the Sundays to come! The Groundlings Sunday Company performs new sketch comedy every Sunday at 7:30pm.
Allyson Phillips and Isabel Klein wrote and performed an original sketch called “Choose”
Here’s a bit about The Sunday Company: Members write and perform a new sketch comedy show every Sunday night. Each member has completed the Core Track (improv training) and the Lab Track (sketch training) of The Groundlings School and, because of their amazing potential, are invited to join the Sunday Company.
Kyle Lehner and Isabel Klein wrote and performed “Riverboat”.
This was a sketch called, “Crispus Attucks”.TJ Norton wrote this sketch called, “Up Late”.
Below is a link to the Vimeo recording of the Advanced Writing Lab show!
The Groundlings is an L.A. improvisation and sketch comedy destination of over 45 years, where we leave everything at the door, welcome and arrive from all walks of life, in hopes to instill a brave uncensored practice of examining and reflecting flawed/shocking/absurd human culture using the cure-all spoonful of sugar: LAUGHTER.
