Commedia dell'Arte Day is this month so everyday we'll highlight a character or core element!

On the rare occasion a vecchio has a wife or there's a matriarch of a household, we often use the character of Laura - who also appeared last night in i Sebastiani's Zoom rehearsal workshop!

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!
