March 30 is National Victoria Day! While we might have preferred a National Vittoria Day (after the famous commedia dell'arte prima donna Vittoria Piisimi from the 16th Century) we take these words by Victoria Scott to heart everyday:
"Everyone wants to play. They're just afraid of looking stupid. But you know what's stupid? Not trying. So just...try."

Choices, choices... What commedia dell'arte shall we bring to Pennsic 53 this July and August?
Right in the middle of our November writing challenge last year, we stepped away from our prompts as we'd been inspired to adapt the historic commedia dell'arte "The Nightshirts" from the Corsiano collection in just 48 hours from reading a translation of the original to finishing a draft of a full scenario! We had hoped to stage "The Fortunate Brother" over Zoom for Commedia Day last month but perhaps it's waiting on Pennsic 2026 for it's debut?

PERCHÉ PARTECIPARE AL CORSO DI COSTRUZIONE DI UNA MASCHERA TEATRALE IN CUOIO
Riteniamo che lo studio e la pratica di questa antica e ti pica di forma di artigianato teatrale italiana
possa essere utile a giovani scenografi, attori che desiderano approcciare al teatro in maschera e a tutti
coloro che sono interessati alle arti plastiche applicate al teatro.
IL PERCORSO, GLI OBIETTIVI E GLI SBOCCHI Durante il laboratorio, partendo da una matrice già esistente del catalogo
di Zorba Officine Creative, ogni partecipante realizzerà, sotto la guida dell’insegnante, una delle tipiche maschere
di Commedia dell’Arte.
Il corso ha tra gli obiettivi quello di permettere all’attore che desidera realizzare il teatro in maschera di
realizzare il suo strumento personale, vale a dire una vera maschera in cuoio.
Ma anche una figura professionale come quella dello scenografo, può attraverso il corso, iniziare un percorso di
ricerca sulla maschera teatrale come prodotto, ed appropriandosi di questa tecnica può arrivare a realizzare
le maschere che desidera produrre.
Il corso è propedeutico a quello di “realizzazione della matrice in legno”.

If you are protesting today (or any day), make sure you know your rights. Be as safe as you can be but be effective. And if you cannot protest in-person, there are many other ways to support causes you care about. And remember: freedom of expression and freedom of speech are two of our most important rights to exercise.
But mostly, also make sure to continue to laugh, smile, and have fun. Even in dark times, find the joy. It's not just about living but about making life worthwhile!

Last week at Gulf Wars, Player of the Patchwork Mathias Blackett was Elevated to the Order of the Laurel in the Society for Creative Anachronism for his research, teaching, and application of performing arts! As part of the ceremony, a group of actors staged a commedia dell'arte play appropriately titled "The Ceremony" which also starred other Players of the Patchwork including Aibhilin, Anton, and Efenwealt and had writing contributions from our own capocomico.
Huzzah to Mathias and we hope to perform commedia with you again soon, at minimum for online production projects!

Happy World Theatre Day! Every culture has some form of theater and performing arts. Being entertained by these arts lets you learn something about them as well as better understand the people behind them.

The theme this year for the Barony of the Cleftlands {Not So} Regular {Not January} Event has the theme of "The Lord of Misrule Reigns" so of course we - the local troupe of fools - had to sign up for a performance time to stage a short commedia dell'arte play! Just days after April Fools on Saturday, April 4 in Medina, OH!

Choices, choices... What commedia dell'arte shall we bring to Pennsic 53 this July and August?
Next month we return to Ohio State University for a Middle Ages & Renaissance history conference. Several years ago we debuted "The Hazards of Hunting Red-Caps", a fairy funny commedia dell'arte farce! It was the start of a successful run across four states. While we have staged this at Pennsic, we expanded the scenario into a larger cast bawdy version specifically for the PA Tent stage or possibly a private camp. Could Pennsic 2026 be the year the foolish fae return?

Choices, choices... What commedia dell'arte shall we bring to Pennsic 53 this July and August?
Next month we return to Ohio State University for a Middle Ages & Renaissance history conference with a farce about space travel in the Renaissance! But this isn't our first "traditional" commedia dell'arte with "science-fiction" elements. And perhaps we'll do another "time travel" play. Pennsic is now exactly four months in the future - and could we have already debuted "The Fabricated Future of Fabritio" at Pennsic 53 in that timeline?

One should always expect to get wet sometime during Pennsic. Usually it's from the rain but if you're a Spanish captain... Should we premiere the long-awaited "The Captain & the River", a farce of faithful love, vengeful ghosts, and wet clothing inspired by one of Flaminio Scala's historic scenarios!
