Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #20years, aggregated by home.social.

  1. On this day (April 25) in 2006, a random conversation between Elianna and Jess on the campus of Case Western Reserve University founded what would become The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company.

    Now... 460 performances later of 260 different semi-improvisational scenarios from traditional Italian commedia dell'arte and Japanese kyōgen to parodies of science-fiction, anime, and steampunk, staged in nearly 50 cities across 7 states by 200 Players of the Patchwork... 20 years... and still running!

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

    Year 16 (2021 - 2022) was when we could stage in-person commedia dell'arte again though we now had two different sets of masks such as the premiere of "The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of Niphleseth, Queen of the Wild Island of Chitterlingonian Sausages" for Ohio State University Center on Medieval & Renaissance Studies inspired by the 16th Century satirical novels by François Rabelais!

    Year 17 (2022 - 2023) saw the world fully reopen and when faced what was expected to be the final Marcon (our premiere science-fiction convention) we decided to go out with a bang and stage our second adaptation of a play briefly scene in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series, the infamous and incredibly ribald "Heterodyne Boys & the Socket Wench of Prague"!

    Year 18 (2023 - 2024) we staged more innuendo jokes in a 60 minute performance block than possibly the prior 18 years combined with "The Beavers of Venice", a last minute "Plan B" commedia dell'arte play for our biggest show at Pennsic!

    Year 19 (2024 - 2025) finally completed plans begun in 2019 for our first D20 Project Play in 2019 when we staged "A Mockery of Mimicry" multiple times as a commedia dell'arte parody celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons where audience rolls of a giant die determined the course of our farce!

    Year 20 (2025 - 2026) we continued our look into the more fantasy side of commedia dell'arte with several performances in historical pastorale style on our way to going down, down, down into a goblin town where we'll end on the madness of laughter!

    So... where will the next 20 years take us?!

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

    Year 6 (2011 - 2012) was when we officially were on the schedule for Pennsic for the first time with an encore of "The Horoscope"!

    Year 7 (2012 - 2013) saw some of our biggest performances ever as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Doctor Who" with several parodies including our Defenders of Neo-Nippon 3 Team Henshin-H anime crossover "Dottore Who & the Curse of the Fatal Fanservice"!

    Year 8 (2013 - 2014) when we played on the Pennsic Amphitheatre stage for the first time with a double feature of commedia dell'arte adaptations of two farces by the Roman poet Plautus: "Miles Gloriosus" and "Aulularia: the Pot of Gold"!

    Year 9 (2014 - 2015) when we prepared for trouble and made it double with our Defenders of Neo-Nippon 3 Team Henshin-H anime parody "QB's Used Wish Emporium" at at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University's Anime Marathon!

    Year 10 (2015 - 2016) we went to a Patchwork Multiverse that's right over there with a bawdy commedia dell'arte parody of Star Wars and one of our punniest titles in "Looking for Love in Alderaan Places" as our first full length performance at Cleveland ConCoction!

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

  4. 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!"

  12. Před 20 lety jsem si poslal e-mail do budoucnosti přes nějakou časovou kapsuli Forbesu, a ten email mi fakt přišel. Je to zajímavé čtení, osobní, ale tohle můžu sdílet:

    👨‍🎓 Byl jsem před maturitou, chtěl jsem se dostat na VŠ (VUT v Brně). Povedlo se!

    🧠 Uspořádával jsem si život a učil se ho žít. Stále v procesu!

    👨‍🎤 Poslouchal jsem house a nosil křiklavé tkaničky. Teď poslouchám leccos, nosím oranžovou mikinu.

    🎮 Hrál jsem eldar.cz/zvav, teď hraju 0 A.D. a SuperTuxKart.

    🦊 Četl jsem weblogy.cz, používal Firefox. RSS čtu stále (nebo zase?), Firefox používám stále.

    💳 Kupoval jsem doménu littlemaple.net, dnes mám honzajavorek.cz

    💻 Na DELLu s Celeronem 750MHz a cca 200MB RAM jsem dělal ve Photoshopu weby. Dnes na Applu s M1 a cca 8 GB RAM si v DaVinci stříhám videa a pracuju na vlastním projektu, junior.guru

  13. This week is going to be a tough one for me. Not because anything particularly difficult is on the horizon, but because I took vacation days on Thursday and Friday and my brain is already in long weekend mode even though it’s only 11:30am on Monday.

    Yeah, it’s going to be a long three days getting to that vacation time.

    The reason I took the vacation time is Friday is my 20th anniversary with my company. July 12, 2004 was my start date. I figured I’d take the day off in celebration and then just splurged and took the day before too. I don’t have any set plans for the two days yet. Just vague ideas about making music in the cellar and going outside and taking lots of pictures. The latter assumes the weather will cooperate. The five day forecasts look okay, but not great. Maybe it’s getting time where I have to stop holding out for morning sunlight and just go outside and shoot whatever regardless of the light conditions. I don’t know. Maybe some ugly clouds over the ocean would look interesting? Who the hell knows. Surely not me.

    Anyway, I am sure I will write 23462346747 more posts about my upcoming four day weekend before it actually arrives. For now though, here is today’s photo a day challenge picture… because. I don’t know. What do you want from me? I’m just an old hack. Leave me alone!
