We encourage you to be strange, not only for Wonderful Weirdos Day on September 6 but also everyday! Because being normal is boring and not creative!
Be wonderfully weird like Isab and Rattio from our underground romantic comedy "What Went Down in Goblin Town?" at Pennsic last month!

#MondayMotivation: September 7, 2026 Labor Day
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!
"For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work." --Jessica Savitch

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!

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

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!

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!

In two months we celebrate our 20th birthday - but earlier this week (the same day Carnevale ended and the new lunarsolar year began) marked the 19th anniversary of our very first performance under the banner of The Confused Greenies and i Verdi Confusi! Appropriate for the occasion, that was also staged to entertain Carnevale at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University! And over 450 performances since then!

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!
