"The home of #Georgian #Jews represents a major crossroad for multiple cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious communities. Human histories and fates that intersected at this juncture had shaped each other’s material culture from time immemorial. Despite the longest diasporic presence, little is known about the Georgian #Jewish #Jamaat (Arabic word used by #GeorgianJews for self-identification), and their cultural, religious, literary, and linguistic artifacts in the Western world. To fill this knowledge gap, the Siegal Lifelong Program at #CaseWesternReserve #University offers the six-week #online #course, GEORGIAN JEWS AND THEIR CULTURAL TREASURES."

It's just taking 2026 one step at a time...

Happy National Take the Stairs Day if you can (and okay if you can't)! We're taking steps toward our 20th anniversary and reminded of one of our earliest shows when we learned the Secrets of Cartoon Physics at Case Western Reserve University that in a farcical comedy any object (or foolish harlequin) falling from an extreme height will be slower than someone frantically running down the stairs of every story (often with repeated clips to save budget). So remember that if you're ever in a 'toon 'verse!

"Oh no, Mimics again?!!"

One week ago, our definitely-human Chest E. Cognito attended Voyeuristic Intention's screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the CWRU Film Society cosplaying everyone's favorite dinner guest Eddie! Chesty was even one of Frank's Choice costume contest winners!

Visiting this shadowcast was a blast as VI was instrumental in the foundation of The Confused Greenies 19 years ago.

Did you know #Caturday is a great day to catch William Shakespeare's "A Comedy of Errors" at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University?!

We went yesterday but you can still catch this play tonight and matinee tomorrow!

Though this play shares a lot of elements with commedia dell'arte it's actually inspired by the same Roman comedies that influenced commedia. But it's all that good farcical fun we love!

16 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 4 when the troupe got really active including modernized commedia dell'rte parodies of both "Doctor Who" and our first musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"!

And this year we're working another musical RHPS parody in traditional historic fantasy commedia pastorale style!

17 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 3 when 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" at Case Western Reserve University's Anime Marathon!

18 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 2 when we adapted "The Horoscope" as our first traditional commedia dell'arte full three-act play which we'd later encore several times as one of our faves!
