It's Friday and almost time of the weekend - and that's worth its weight in gold!

to the first time we staged our commedia dell'arte adaptation of Plautus's "Aulularia: the Pot of Gold" in the Society for Creative Anachronism at Cleftlands Got Talent in 2010!

April 28 is Clean Comedy Day! While traditional commedia dell'arte from the 16th Century was often quite bawdy much of the humor (slapstick, confusion, disguises, etc) can be accessible and tailored to an all audience crowd!

Caution! There are unleashed commedia dell'arte around with shows planned next month!

to the 2010 Geauga County Maple Festival in Chardon when we brought our "Follies of Fools" commedia skits to a Society for Creative Anachronism demo!

Your expression when you realizing you've stepped into a commedia dell'arte plot hole as big as a Midwestern pot hole (thanks to barebone scribbles of a scenario outline in the Bottarga Zibaldone collection)!

But hey, that's what improvisation is for!

Today is the 17th birthday of founding The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company!

To celebrate we're looking at scene 1.7 of plays throughout the troupe's history, such as "The Horoscope", our very first commedia dell'arte on the Pennsic Performing Arts Tent stage in 2011!

Pennsic 50 Year may still be a few months away but we need to determine which commedia dell'arte to stage!

As we've been exploring more the magical and fantastical pastorale, perhaps we could stage something like an adaptation of Flaminio Scala's "Rosalba, the Enchantress of the Isle of Good Luck"?

When your costume room is overflowing into the rest of the house, you can find a "matching" costume within reach during a Zoom commedia dell'arte rehearsal workshop of "Furti" ("Thefts") from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection! 🤣

Pennsic 50 Year may still be a few months away but we need to determine what to stage!

As we consider some more fantastical commedia dell'arte lately, perhaps we should go back to our magical "Beauty is the Beast" parody?

Bottarga! You really gotta give us more details to work with! 🤣

Tonight i Sebastiani continues a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "Furti" ("Thefts"), a commedia dell'arte scenario that was probably not fully written down so room for lots of improvising!

Pennsic 50 Year may still be a few months away but we need to determine which commedia dell'arte to stage!

Last year we came close to selecting "The Murder of Fabritio" - could 2023 be the year the case is solved?!

Last week i Sebastiani wrapped a Zoom rehearsal workshop of "Leone" from the Bottarga Zibaldone collection - aka "commedia dell'arte characters versus a lion"! 🤣

Tonight it's onto "Furti" ("Thefts")!

But it's not just a large cat but also an inanimate well that features in this relationship flowchart!

2016's "Follies of Fools" at Masque de la Fou in the Shire of Eastwatch in the Society for Creative Anachronism!

"Pantalone's Protégé" is a commedia dell'arte retelling of the Japanese kyōgen "Hone Kawa" which you may be able to see again in a few weeks!
