The Institute Sketch Comedy
The Institute is a sketch comedy group at Tufts University made up of actors, writers, and filmmakers. I unknowingly signed up for an audition during orientation week, and it was one of the greatest mishaps of my life because it's introduced me to some of the most creative, talented, and funny people at school.
We put on six shows a year (including an original 90 minute musical)! I have filmed and edited 20+ video sketches for our monthly shows, and these are some of my favorites.
