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!

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!

#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!

Check back soon for the full video of this fantastic farce!

Earlier this month, our commedia dell'arte fools visited the Moon in the premiere of a comedic farce inspired by Renaissance sci-fi stories! We, uh, "had a problem"... with our tech but check back soon for more footage of the lunar adventure!

And this is one of our likely plays for Pennsic 53 this summer so you still have a shot to catch "Arlecchino, Emperor on the Moon"!

This Saturday (April 25) is the 20th birthday of The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company so let's hear some words of (comedic) wisdom from Players of the Patchwork! Here's one to describe how we face the chaos of live theatre...

While we may not normally celebrate a holiday called "National Cheese Ball Day", last weekend for a medieval and Renaissance conference on stargazing at Ohio State University, Arlecchino (and other commedia dell'arte) went to the Moon in hopes it tasted like a big round ball of cheese! Spoiler alert: it did not!

(Pardon the poor footage; we had some technical difficulties with our camera during the performance.)

Choices, choices... What commedia dell'arte shall we bring to Pennsic 53 this July and August?

Next month we return to Ohio State University for a Middle Ages & Renaissance history conference; two years ago for this same event we premiered our sports-themed commedia dell'arte "A Comedic Farce of a Fraudulent Cow in Calcio Fiorentino" with a possible plan to "play ball" again at Pennsic in 2026!

#CommediaDellArte #Commedia #Improv #Improvisation #Theater #Pennsic #PennsicWar #SCA #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #MySCA #OhioState #OSU #OhioStateUniversity #Sports

It's a big sportsball weekend with not only the Superbowl tomorrow but also the Winter Olympics in northern Italy! Perhaps later this year, maybe we'll encore our commedia dell'arte about a Renaissance Italy predecessor to football, "A Comedic Farce of a Fraudulent Cow in Calcio Fiorentino"!

So we say, "Go favorite sportsball team! Move that ball to wherever better than the other sportsball team!"
