It's National Limerick Day!

Ya know, what we do is similar... A rhythmic pattern, a lot of silly, a titbit raunchy, and playful humor more clever than it has any right to be!

"Commedia Dell’Arte a theatrical art,
Improv and mask and slapstick to start!
Often quite bawdy,
And sometimes is naughty,
A comedy loved with all of our heart!"

The theme for the Barony of the Cleftlands {Not So} Regular {Not January} Event earlier this month was the "The Lord of Misrule Reigns"! Our capocomico, Niccolò Bartolazzi, was asked to teach so brought his classes on jesters & fools and commedia dell'arte; we should aim to teach more this year!

Turning #Inktober into a Commedia dell'Arte Scenario Writing Challenge! Again!

Day 18 Prompts: Rain & Deal

A massive train storm has hit the town for days. Unwilling to wait any longer, Pantalone meets Brighella for a business deal. However, not only does the rain damage the signed contract but the goods are at risk when being moved off Capitano's ship. Under the cover of the storm, Isabella disguises herself as a magician to meet her beloved Oratio but they get lost in the fog. Meanwhile Vittoria worries that the rising waters will potentially compromise certain... "items" she wishes to stay buried. With the storm raging, chaos and confusion is in the forecast!
