Happy Labor Day! Take a moment today to remember that the good things that support modern society are thanks to countless labor of ourselves and those who came before to build!

It's September 6 so you can Fight Procrastination Day with National Read a Book Day!

Are we immune from procrastinating? Nope. Despite presenting amazing commedia dell'arte (such as our encore performance one of our favorite plays, "The Hazards of Hunting Redcaps" at One World Day in Cleveland's Italian Cultural Garden last week) we often have to pull everything together (from writing the scenario to rehearsing to costumes and props) at the last minute... and yet we do and it's majestic!

But we also always encourage reading. Read books and never stop learning!

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!

#MondayMotivation: August 24, 2026 Remembering Tim Curry

The legacy of Tim Curry was a crucial element to the foundation of our troupe over twenty years ago. So we will continue to remember this great person and fabulous entertainment and take wisdom from his words on the craft as we always believe what we do makes the world at least a bit better one smile, one laugh, at a time.

"The way the world is, I think a silly evening in the theatre is a good thing, to take our minds off terror." --Tim Curry

Earlier this year we celebrated our 20th birthday! However, it was not until late August 2006 that we adopted our name The Confused Greenies and (with help from Prof. Denise Caterinacci) our intentionally badly translated into Italian name i Verdi Confusi!

Since we originally started on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, we named ourselves after the notoriously confused campus shuttle buses. Of course, this moniker wouldn't mean much away from CWRU which is why we go by the Italian (replicating historic troupes) when performing commedia dell'arte for medieval and Renaissance events. Later we would also add Players' Patchwork Theatre Company to help pull both names together and better project what we do!

So happy two decades of green confusion!

Three weeks ago tonight at Pennsic 53 during our biggest show of the year, the local witch was brewing some special elixirs to aid in whatever ails you, be you old miser Pantalone wishing to survive his wedding night with infamous black widow Vittoria, the timid Oratio who needs more confidence to marry his beloved Isabella who is currently disguised as a traveling swordsman, or the foolish Arlecchino who will eat anything!

Check back soon to find what strange and beastly reactions occurred in the full video of i Verdi Confusi's first performance from our #Inktober writing challenge, "Pasquella's Powerful Potions"!

August 14 is World Lizard Day? Well, Oratio may have celebrated earlier this month during our biggest commedia dell'arte performance of the year at Pennsic 53 when he drank one of "Pasquella's Powerful Potions" and transformed into a creature straight out of a medieval bestiary!
