Join us in our showcase of students as they show off their new comedy skills.
The curriculum was developed by Dr. Bernie Furshpan, Marketing Expert and Executive Director of The NY Hysterical Society, with help from Lois Oliveira, Co-Developer of Keeping Every Child Safe, an evidence-based Parenting Program, Communications Expert and the former Co-Director of The New York State Project To Implement Career Education.
This program is in partnership with Southampton Cultural Center. Each multi-week session culminates with a performance by the kids and established comedians. Classes are conducted on Zoom. The graduates receive a Certificate of Program Completion.
