2026 has started and that means pre-registration for Pennsic 53 is NOW OPEN! The best way to make sure you can catch all our amazing commedia dell'arte this summer is to pre-reg at the discount rate and secure additional space for your camping group!
Sure the deadline is months away but best do it now (we know how we ll get). Pre-reg here: https://bit.ly/PennsicReg

So what New Year's resolutions did commedia dell'arte characters make... and four days into 2026 how are those resolutions going?

Norse Mythology Geek from the SCA decides to DM me out of the blue. First of all he wants to know where I live. I tell him Drachenwald (which is the SCA area covering everywhere basically from northern Scandinavia down to north Africa) and ask him why he wants to know. He says he's in [specific US city] and "would love to connect". I think, h'mm. First excuse I get, I tell him my age.
He goes curiously silent. 😆
Happy New Year!
But wait - 2025, we're not quite done with you yet! Let's look back once more on all the fun The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company had this most recent trip around the sun!
Though we did not stage as many performances or travel to as many places as the prior year, what we did was majestic including our first commedia dell'arte pastorale historic fantasy style plays and our first fully staged reading, a sudden and unexpected giant whale, and then wrapping up with writing dozens of new three-act scenarios for future productions!
This year was tough in many ways and stressful. But it's always been our goal to make the world better one laugh, one smile at at a time!

Ready to sew
Got all the bits and pieces cut out and ready to begin sewing my new tunic. Think I will start that tomorrow. Feeling accomplished that I got everything to that stage.

➤22: "The Illuminated Harlequin"
➤16: "The Aragon Trail"
➤27: "Opinions on the Onion Farm"
➤30 "The Necromancer's Romancer"
➤01: "The Miser's Scholarship"
➤19: "A Farce of Fire & Ice"
Keep checking back for updates on our writing progress as we do a final big push over the reainder of the holiday break!
