Hackettstown - Back by popular demand, the Centenary Stage Company will offer it’s second Comedy Workshop series this winter, beginning Monday, Feb. 19 at the theatre. Teaching the secrets of stand-up and improvisational comedy, the eight-week class will be open to the public, and no prior experience is required. Taught by theatre veteran and Yale School of Drama graduate Kate Lyn Reiter, “Introduction to Comedy “ will introduce the actor to the secrets of stand-up comedy and improv.

In this workshop, actors will work on comedic style and timing, and explore their potential funnybone or just learn to lighten up.
