  1. Earlier this month we brought an anime parody back to Zipcon for the first time since 2018 and our first new anime play since 2019! To open our after-dark improv games, Team Henshin-H explained why we hadn't seen them in so long in "Magical Bishōjo Scout Shibari-chan's Ten(tacle) Foot Rule"!

  2. Earlier this month we returned to Zipcon for more "Mad Words", semi-improvised farce inspired by the Japanese theatrical tradition of kyōgen!

  3. Today is Commedia dell'Arte where we celebrate this original improvisational masked art from 16th Century Italy as well as it's last influence on theatre, music, literature, culture, and more! Words like slapstick, scenario, zany, harlequin, and even pants all come from commedia!

  6. Happy Carnevale!

    Carnival has intersection with commedia dell'arte and also with the foundation of our troupe. Last year we staged "The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of Niphleseth, Queen of the Wild Island of Chitterlingonian Sausages" inspired by the 16th Century satirical novels by François Rabelais. In our play, Dottore Gratiano, Capitano Testosteroné, and Arlecchino hoped the spirit of Carnevale season would save them when faced against a supposed army of sausage warriors!

    Watch these clips from our performances at the OSU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Pennsic War in the Society for Creative Anachronism!

  7. Commedia dell'Arte Day is this month so everyday we'll highlight a character or core element!

    A very common trope in many commedia sceanrios sees the ingenious amorosa Isabella finding reason to disguise herself as a man named Fabritio! Disguises are common among the other characters too.
