On Saturday, April 25 we celebrate our troupe's big 20th birthday so we're doing a retrospective countdown!

Year 1 (2006 - 2007) saw "The Days After the Days of the Valentine's" as our first performance under the banner of The Confused Greenies, a short modernized commedia dell'arte farce for the combined Carnevale & Mardi Gras celebration at our alma mater of Case Western Reserve University!

Year 2 (2007 - 2008) we adapted "The Horoscope" at CWRU as our first traditional commedia dell'arte full three-act play which we'd later encore several times as one of our faves!

Year 3 (2008 - 2009) we expanded from our traditional commedia dell'arte roots to study a different culture's historic improvised theatre in our first "Mad Words: the Art of Kyōgen" shows at CWRU's Anime Marathon!

Year 4 (2009 - 2010) the troupe got really active including modernized commedia dell'rte of both "Doctor Who" and our first musical parody of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"!

Year 5 (2010 - 2011) we kept the momentum going with an even bigger season, the highlight the premiere of "Dottore Who & the Zealous Ones" where our bumbling parody time traveler meets the most famous commedia dell'arte troupe in history during a foolish alien invasion of the Italian Renaissance! Still one of our finest performances to date that also introduced our signature short play "It All Makes Sense Now!"

Follow us and check back soon for the next set of years!

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

Yesterday the astronauts on the Artemis II mission flew into an eclipse of the Sun by the Moon. And almost two years ago was the Great American Eclipse which inspired us to write the scenario "The Totality of Confusion"! Perhaps Pennsic 2026 is when this farce will see (or maybe not see) the light of day!

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

Later this month (April 25) is the 20th birthday of The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company so let's here some words of (comedic) wisdom from Players of the Patchwork!
