Happy Thanksgiving from The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company! Try not to be as ravenous as commedia dell'arte's always hungry and hapless harlequin Arlecchino who accidently confesses to "devouring" Vittoria! 🤣

Let's roll that die again! We're once more aiming to stage our first D20 project play in 2024! This week we're making progress on a new concept for the draft of our D&D parody commedia dell'arte "A Mockery of Mimicry"!

To prepare for the OSU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies' 2024 conference on historic sports and pastimes, we've written a draft of and are testing a new commedia dell'arte scenario titled "A Comedic Farce of a Fraudulent Cow in Calcio Fiorentino"!

Follow us for updates!

Is time change as foolish as commedia dell'arte? Well, hope this Monday morning after the end of Daylight Saving Time isn't too rough!

Today is National No Pants Day!

Pants are derived from pantaloons which is named after the Victorian harlequinade character of Pantaloon who is a descendant of the Renaissance commedia mask Pantalone...

So remember... without Commedia dell'Arte... we'd all be PANTSLESS!!! 🤣
