Join members of the famed comedy troupe Baby Wants Candy and students in the fall Princeton Atelier course, “Creating Comedy for Television,” for an evening of original comedy readings. Professional Hollywood actors will present a table reading via Zoom of Carter Bays’ (How I Met Your Mother) latest comedy pilot, King and Caroline. The pilot follows a former sitcom writer, trying to reconnect with his daughter, who must come to grips with how his work is perceived by a new generation. His attempts at amends lead him to a local food bank, where he is drawn into an unexpected criminal intrigue. The event also includes a reading in-person by professional actors of The Fitz, the TV pilot written by the class as a group over the course of the semester. When three Princeton students discover a hidden speakeasy in the basement of the library, they decide to go into business running Princeton’s hottest (and most illegal) secret bar. In addition, the actors will read scenes from pilots written by individual students in the course.
