  1. Happy Calendar Adjustment Day! Don't lose track of your time!

    The Gregorian (or "New Style") Calendar was adopted in Italy during the early days of commedia dell'arte. But it wouldn't be until 1752 when the American colonies made the change and September 2 was followed by September 14. Legend speaks of "calendar riots" as angry mobs demanded "give us our 11 days back!" But while this is likely more myth than fact, the changing system definitely caused chaos in our 2023 "time travel" commedia farce "Difficulties in Dating" staged at Cleveland ConCoction, Confluence, Pennsic, Marcon, and over Zoom for Commedia Day!

  6. July 8 is National Video Game Day to celebrate a fun pastime! Though we haven't parodying video games too often, last year at Cleveland ConCoction we did debut a dramatic reading of "The Mushrooms of Venice" adapting the classic Super Mario games with Renaissance theatrical fantasy of commedia dell'arte pastorale. A fully staged production has been a possible consideration for Pennsic and though not this year perhaps the fungus will be among us in 2027?!

    As for which plays we did select to perform this July and August, follow and check back later this week for our final selection! And you can come laugh at us on:

    ➤ Peace Thursday (July 30) • 6:00pm • Amphitheatre
    ➤ Middle Saturday (August 1) • 9:00pm • PA Tent
    ➤ War Wednesday (August 5) • 6:00pm • Amphitheatre

  11. Despite this style of swimwear not being a fashion during the Renaissance era of commedia dell'arte, bikinis do pop up in our troupe more than you'd think, from Star Wars parodies to steampunk fantasies to DnD choose-your-own adventure!

    So have a striking Bikini Day 2026!

  21. May 18 is Victoria Day in Canada... which is probably safer than a Vittoria Day which would be named after the famous commedia dell'arte prima donna Vittoria Piisimi from the 16th Century who inspired our infamous black widow character!

  26. 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?!

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

    Year 11 (2016 - 2017) was our first time crafting and bringing a full three-act production to the Popular Cultural & the Deep Past historic conference at the Ohio State University Center on Medieval & Renaissance Studies with our thematic commedia dell'arte parody of magic and fantasy!

    Year 12 (2017 - 2018) we joined famous commedia dell'arte troupe i Sebastiani to finally stage "The Heterodyne Boys & the Race to the West Pole" to adapt the play briefly seen in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series and with the creators themselves in the audience as Comic Guests of Honor at Marcon!

    Year 13 (2018 - 2019) we went back to school - specifically to Miskatonic University that was experiencing "Tentacle Difficulties" in our first Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos inspired parody farce for Cleveland ConCoction's eldritch horror themed convention!

    Year 14 (2019 - 2020) featured a touring run of one of our favorite commedia dell'arte plays, a fairy funny farce called "The Hazards of Hunting Red-Caps" that we performed three times for Ohio State University, three times for Pennsic, once for Midrealm 50 Year, and more!

    Year 15 (2020 - 2021) fell entirely into the pandemic social distancing era but that didn't stop us from staging virtual shows over Zoom including the premiere of Mistress Aibhilin inghean Daibhidh's three-act commedia dell'arte "The Calendimaggio Affair"!

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

    Year 14 (2019 - 2020) featured a touring run of one of our favorite commedia dell'arte plays, a fairy funny farce called "The Hazards of Hunting Red-Caps" that we performed three times for Ohio State University, three times for Pennsic, once for Midrealm 50 Year, and more!

    Year 15 (2020 - 2021) fell entirely into the pandemic social distancing era but that didn't stop us from staging virtual shows over Zoom including the premiere of Mistress Aibhilin inghean Daibhidh's three-act commedia dell'arte "The Calendimaggio Affair"!

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

    Year 11 (2016 - 2017) was our first time crafting and bringing a full three-act production to the Popular Cultural & the Deep Past historic conference at the Ohio State University Center on Medieval & Renaissance Studies with our thematic commedia dell'arte parody of magic and fantasy!

    Year 12 (2017 - 2018) we joined famous commedia dell'arte troupe i Sebastiani to finally stage "The Heterodyne Boys & the Race to the West Pole" to adapt the play briefly seen in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series and with the creators themselves in the audience as Comic Guests of Honor at Marcon!

    Year 13 (2018 - 2019) we went back to school - specifically to Miskatonic University that was experiencing "Tentacle Difficulties" in our first Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos inspired parody farce for Cleveland ConCoction's eldritch horror themed convention!

    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 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!
