#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!

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!

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!

The plot of nearly every full three-act commedia dell'arte spins around the romantic quests of the young amorosi. So just over six years ago when everyone had to social distance and everything went virtual so did love for Isabella and Oratio in our Zoom performances!
It's Thursday, May 14 so Happy Online Romance Day! Don't let distance prevent relationships, be they love, friendship, companionship, or whatever you need. Building and maintain connections is always important, especially in trying times.

The core plot to almost every Commedia dell'arte is a farcical and madcap romantic escapade! Here's a montage of our "Lovers Approach" lazzo to celebrate Valentine's Day!

Turning #Inktober into a Commedia dell'Arte Scenario Writing Challenge! Again!
Day 15 Prompts: Observe & Ragged
After failing to find solutions or get help by convention means, many residents of the town have decided to look for the strange wildman hermit who lives in the woods but sometimes passes through. Flaminia has exhausted seeking advice on love and has come to the (dubious) conclusion to try asking someone radically different. Flavio has given up on love so desires to know how to live in total isolation. Isabella wishes to find a good hiding spot to avoid an arranged marriage. Vittoria is also looking for a hiding spot to... dispose of "items" that are no longer "wanted". Pasquella fears the wildman may be the result of an enchantment gone wrong. And Capitano Testosteroné fears he must make sure he's told everyone of his (supposed) exploits!

Day 7 Prompts: Discovery & Starfish
When Capitano Testosteroné's ship is sunk off the shore of Venice, everyone fears the worst (some because of lost cargo or future escape plans) but he was secretly rescued by a mermaid! No one believes Capitano but there is a mysterious young woman named Calypso who doesn't seem to understand modern society. Meanwhile, aspiring naturalist Dottore Gratiano believes he has found new sea life, such as a pair of starfish (held together with kelp) which both Brighella (who promised Vittoria new fashion but it went down on Capitanos' ship) and Calypso are also very interested in. Meanwhile, a young traveler named "Fabritio" hoped to escape Venice when Capitano left port again but is now stuck as worry that the missing Isabella (who had recently been arranged to be wed to a wealthy old man) might have been lost in the storm! Will Dottore discover Calypso's true identity - and how far will Capitano (in both debt for his life being saved and in love) go to protect her secrets?

For over a decade and half we've staged commedia dell'arte inspired science-fiction parodies which have included the Empire from Star Wars satirized as the Galactic Generic Overlordly Persons (or G-GOP for short), a militaristic oligarchy run as a corporation and ruled by Imperial Doge Palpalone.
Just sharing for no particular reason.... 👀

This past weekend some of the "Doctor Who" fandom celebrated TikTok Galliday with fan made content! We love staging our parody plays including mixing science-fiction with historic commedia dell'arte improv theatre from the Italian Renaissance!

7 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 13 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!

10 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 10 when 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!

15 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 5 when we kept the momentum going with an even bigger season, the highlight the premiere of "Dottore Who & the Zealous Ones" where our bumbling parody time traveler meets the most famous commedia dell'arte troupe in history during a foolish alien invasion of the Italian Renaissance! Still one of our finest performances to date that also introduced our signature short play "It All Makes Sense Now!"!
