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

What happens when Vittoria conjures demons to summon one of her dead husbands but finds out he's still alive?! Such a black mark on her reputation for a husband to have gotten away! Will "The Not Actually Deceased Husband of the Black Widow" finally rise at Pennsic 2026?

Follow and check back often for updates! But whatever our final selection is, you can come laugh at us on:

➤ Peace Thursday (July 30) • 6:00pm • Amphitheatre

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

In 2020 due to social distancing restrictions we staged a one actor (one captain?) show for virtual Pennsic. Since then we expanded the scenario into a fully cast production. Perhaps "The Captain's Quest" will take him to Pennsic 2026?

Your "face" when you discover the historic play i Sebastiani is workshopping this week has another #lion character! 😹

"The Enchanted Spring" from the Corsiano collection is an interesting scenario that is a typical "street" #commedia dell'arte except it includes some actual magical elements from the more fantastical pastorale! An example of what you can do in even a "traditional" play!

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

Last year we researched commedia pastorale (historic fantasy) and perhaps that could be used to enhance an encore of our 2017 parody with a twist of the classic fable we call "Beauty is the Beast"!

Follow us and check back often for more updates on potential plays - and TOMORROW we'll announce our schedule of performances!

It's Star Wars Day, celebrating one of our favorite fandoms to parody! Perhaps next year for the 50th anniversary of "A New Hope" we'll encore some of our favorite parody plays such as "Looking for Love in Alderaan Places", "The Mixed-Up Padawan", and "Syth & Twisted"!

Until then... May the Fourth be with you... or as we say in our troupe... May the FARCE be with you?
