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!"

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

While some of our options are actual adaptations of historic plays from early commedia, "The Brother Who Was Believed Dead" is an original work but directly inspired by the early 17th Century scenarios written by Flaminio Scala about the 16th Century i Gelosi!

It's Graduation season and commedia dell'arte's bombastic academic Dottore Gratiano believes we should always be learning - and we all know he has a lot to learn!

"Education is learning what you didn’t even know you didn’t know."– Daniel J. Boorstin

Commedia dell'arte often features fathers with their scheming... but that's not to say the moms can't have some good plots! Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day! Mothers don't appear in commedia as often as fathers but in "The Widow's Wife" Isabella schemes to ensure Vittoria becomes her new mother-in-law by pretending to be a healthy and Pantalone not realizing Vittoria was seeking a wealth but only temporary husband!

May 9 is World Belly Dance Day but the best we can do you is Arlecchino's infamous "Interpretive Dance" lazzo from the Pennsic commedia dell'arte troupe il Titolo Provvisorio and performed by one of our Players of the Patchwork!

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?

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!
