Demons abound during our "Mad Words: the Art of Kyōgen" at the CWRU Case Con Anime Marathon in spring 2011!

We may be seeing more fantasy and monsters in our productions this year!

Earlier this month we brought an anime parody back to Zipcon for the first time since 2018 and our first new anime play since 2019! To open our after-dark improv games, Team Henshin-H explained why we hadn't seen them in so long in "Magical Bishōjo Scout Shibari-chan's Ten(tacle) Foot Rule"!

Earlier this month we returned to Zipcon for more "Mad Words", semi-improvised farce inspired by the Japanese theatrical tradition of kyōgen! We'll have video up soon but we'll also review the brand new anime parody and one of our most successful improv games shows we staged later that same night!

Yesterday was Commedia dell'Arte Day so each day this month we'll highlight a character or core element!

Many commedia characters are quick to enact comedic stage combat known as slapstick - in fact named after the harlequin's iconic and noisy bat!

Today is Commedia dell'Arte where we celebrate this original improvisational masked art from 16th Century Italy as well as it's last influence on theatre, music, literature, culture, and more! Words like slapstick, scenario, zany, harlequin, and even pants all come from commedia!

We finished with "Kusabira", one of our favorites where a mountain warrior priest has to contend with some strange mushrooms!

Happy Carnevale!

Carnival has intersection with commedia dell'arte and also with the foundation of our troupe. Last year we staged "The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of Niphleseth, Queen of the Wild Island of Chitterlingonian Sausages" inspired by the 16th Century satirical novels by François Rabelais. In our play, Dottore Gratiano, Capitano Testosteroné, and Arlecchino hoped the spirit of Carnevale season would save them when faced against a supposed army of sausage warriors!

Watch these clips from our performances at the OSU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Pennsic War in the Society for Creative Anachronism!
