The theme for yesterday's Barony of the Cleftlands {Not So} Regular {Not January} Event has the "The Lord of Misrule Reigns" so you know we brought a commedia dell'arte play, an encore of "The Kidnapping of Arlecchino" and the first time we've staged this short farce in-person in Ohio!

Choices, choices... What commedia dell'arte shall we bring to Pennsic 53 this July and August?

Yesterday was our beloved April Fools Day! A few years ago we foolishly accidentally wrote a farce as a demonstration of commedia dell'arte that turned out to be a quite good play of its own! Perhaps, especially as we're showcasing commedia to more audiences lately, Pennsic 2026 is time to let "An Accidental Farce" stand the stage on its own?

Follow us and check back often for more updates on potential plays and our eventual selection!
