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

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?

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!

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!
