On Saturday, April 25 we celebrate our troupe's big 20th birthday so we're doing a retrospective countdown!

Year 6 (2011 - 2012) was when we officially were on the schedule for Pennsic for the first time with an encore of "The Horoscope"!

Year 7 (2012 - 2013) saw some of our biggest performances ever as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Doctor Who" with several parodies including our Defenders of Neo-Nippon 3 Team Henshin-H anime crossover "Dottore Who & the Curse of the Fatal Fanservice"!

Year 8 (2013 - 2014) when we played on the Pennsic Amphitheatre stage for the first time with a double feature of commedia dell'arte adaptations of two farces by the Roman poet Plautus: "Miles Gloriosus" and "Aulularia: the Pot of Gold"!

Year 9 (2014 - 2015) when we prepared for trouble and made it double with our Defenders of Neo-Nippon 3 Team Henshin-H anime parody "QB's Used Wish Emporium" at at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University's Anime Marathon!

Year 10 (2015 - 2016) we went to a Patchwork Multiverse that's right over there with a bawdy commedia dell'arte parody of Star Wars and one of our punniest titles in "Looking for Love in Alderaan Places" as our first full length performance at Cleveland ConCoction!

On Saturday, April 25 we celebrate our troupe's big 20th birthday so we're doing a retrospective countdown!

Year 1 (2006 - 2007) saw "The Days After the Days of the Valentine's" as our first performance under the banner of The Confused Greenies, a short modernized commedia dell'arte farce for the combined Carnevale & Mardi Gras celebration at our alma mater of Case Western Reserve University!

Year 2 (2007 - 2008) we adapted "The Horoscope" at CWRU as our first traditional commedia dell'arte full three-act play which we'd later encore several times as one of our faves!

Year 3 (2008 - 2009) we expanded from our traditional commedia dell'arte roots to study a different culture's historic improvised theatre in our first "Mad Words: the Art of Kyōgen" shows at CWRU's Anime Marathon!

Year 4 (2009 - 2010) the troupe got really active including modernized commedia dell'rte of both "Doctor Who" and our first musical parody of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"!

Year 5 (2010 - 2011) we kept the momentum going with an even bigger season, the highlight the premiere of "Dottore Who & the Zealous Ones" where our bumbling parody time traveler meets the most famous commedia dell'arte troupe in history during a foolish alien invasion of the Italian Renaissance! Still one of our finest performances to date that also introduced our signature short play "It All Makes Sense Now!"

Follow us and check back soon for the next set of years!

20 years ago today I walked into the Loughborough University campus to start a new job (this after being a student there 90-93 and working there 98-00).

I'm still working there. Aside from breathing and being married, there are very few things I've done continuously for 20 years!

As the old marketing slogan used to say - "Loughborough is for life!" 🙂

Got to see Nine Inch Nails last Tuesday in Charlotte. Last time I saw them was twenty years ago in 2006, Greenville, SC on the With Teeth tour.

This time having ASL intepreters for the show was fantastic. They might be older now but still have mindblowing shows. A special thank you to them and Spectrum center for provding accessibility. It was also an honor introduce some fellow Deaf friends to NIN.
