The Ladies’ Room is a comedy writing workshop for young women and women-identifying writers, led by Liz Hara ’04 & Jill Twiss. It will take place at the Istituto San Lodovico, Orvieto (TN), Italy, Sunday, June 8 – Sunday, June 15, 2025. Join us this summer in Italy where you’ll be taught the fundamentals of writing for television by veteran writers Liz Hara (Sesame Street, Life in Pieces) and Jill Twiss (Last Week Tonight.) We’ll cover three-act structure, character development, and the rules of comedy–who doesn’t love rules?! We’ll also hold master classes on how to pitch a show and create a late night packet. This workshop is designed to advance young women in the male-dominated field of comedy, developing your voice in a supportive and collaborative environment.
