June 3, early in Pride Month, is Love Conquers All Day!
For centuries commedia dell'arte holds true that LOVE WINS regardless what supposed "social norms" and "traditions" try to mandate. And our art may be centuries old but our audiences are modern. Art should reflect life and we want our art to be inclusive. Our plots, our characters, our players, and our writers celebrate diversity and representation.
Love is love!

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!

3 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 17 when the world more reopened and when faced what was expected to be the final Marcon (our premiere science-fiction convention) we decided to go out with a bang and stage our second adaptation of a play briefly scene in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series, the infamous and incredibly ribald "Heterodyne Boys & the Socket Wench of Prague"!
(By chance our countdown for this bawdy and scandalous show landed on National Pin-Up Day today!)

8 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 12 we were joined by famous commedia dell'arte troupe i Sebastiani out of Boston to finally stage "The Heterodyne Boys & the Race to the West Pole", a long-time project to adapt the play briefly scene in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series and with the creators themselves in the audience as Comic Guests of Honor at Marcon!

13 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 7 which saw some of our biggest performances ever as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Doctor Who" with several parodies including our Defenders of Neo-Nippon 3 Team Henshin-H anime crossover "Dottore Who & the Curse of the Fatal Fanservice"!

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!"!

September 23 is also Redhead Appreciation Day and we love red hair so much our characters will go to extreme efforts to disguise themselves in red yarn wigs, such as Barry trying to play decoy or the High Priestess in our inspired adaptation of "The Heterodyne Boys & the Socket Wench of Prague" at Marcon 2022!

Oh we almost forgot July 19 is Stick Out Your Tongue Day! 😜 I'm sure our newest character, Chesty the Definitely-Not-a-Mimic, wouldn't have wanted us to miss this occasion!

Chesty returns in the coming weeks in "Mockery of Mimicry" at both Confluence and Pennsic!

#FlashBackFriday to our second musical "The Clocky Horror Steampunk Show" at Marcon 2011! #FBF
Next year is the 50th anniversary of the cult classic film so we should explore another "Rocky Horror Picture Show" parody!

#ThrowBackThursday Though we weren't able to perform at Marcon this year, it was premiering our second "Doctor Who" parody in 2010 that cemented our appearance as a reoccurring Marcon act! "Dottore Who & the Zealous Ones" still marks one of our finest shows to date. #TBT

Chesty from our recent DnD inspired commedia dell'arte "A Mockery of Mimicry" made an appearance at Marcon 2024 but couldn't understand why everyone kept shouting "Mimic!" when they were *clearly* cosplaying as a perfectly normal humanoid-shaped human being creature con-goer!
Chesty will return at Confluence in July and Pennsic War in August!

It's May 25 so Happy Towel Day, celebrating the amazing humorous sci-fi works by Douglas Adams! From our own "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" parodies to anime fanservice farces and steamy steampunk shenanigans, towels have been a common, uh, COSTUME in our Patchwork Productions!

We may have not had a show this past weekend for the first time since 2009, but a few of our Players of the Patchwork did make appearances at Marcon in Columbus, including Chesty the definitely-not-a-Mimic from our recent D&D parody commedia dell'arte!

January 21 is One-Liners Day! While much of our humor is improvised and/or built over the course of an entire play, we also do one-liners including some of our favorite titles of plays - such our 2016 Star Wars commedia dell'arte parody for Cleveland ConCoction and Marcon: "Looking for Love in Alderaan Places"! 🤣

Happy National Science Fiction Day! Sci-fi is one of our favorite genres and we often stage parody SF plays at geek conventions, such as our tribute last year to 60 years of "Doctor Who" - and can you get much more sci-fi than the TARDIS transformed into a giant robot battling a Dalek transformed into a magical anime girl transformed into a kaiju monster? 🤣

It's a new year and thus new goals! There are many events we are planning or hope to return to and some new ones to add! We already have gigs in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Zipcon, Ohio State University, and Confluence and will definitely sign up for Cleveland ConCoction, Marcon, and Pennsic while hoping to go to CabbageCon for the first time and returning to One World Day and more!

Let's look back to another fabulous and funny year full of commedia dell'arte, improv games, parodies, and more from Cleveland ConCoction to Confluence-SFF, from Zipcon to COWA Anime Club Woo-Con, from MARCon (Multiple Alternate Realities Convention) to The Pennsic War 50 Year and more!

In 2023 we staged 21 performances of 12 different plays and 7 improv games shows! We broke the timeline during both commedia dell'arte and celebrating on an anime parody world the "Doctor Who" 60th anniversary followed by dropping our most innuendo-filled production while marking Pennsic 50 Year!
Now let's make 2024 even more majestic! Of course! It all makes sense now!

The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company had a stellar 2023! Kicking off a play for Commedia dell'Arte Day we'd encore at Pennsic 50 Year, Confluence (for the first time), Cleveland ConCoction, Marcon (while also celebrating a Doctor Who 60th anniversary parody at the later two), kyōgen for returns to both Zipcon and Woo-Con, and many improv game shows!

It's the month of Halloween so we'll look at costumes from our troupe each day!
For our first steampunk play in 2009, we made the harlequinade stock character of Columbine into a clockwork automaton with large wind-up key constructed by troupe engineer Chuck. Clocky Columbine would return in 2011 for "The Clocky Horror Steampunk Show" with a floorshow outfit of Columbina from our 2009 "Rocky Horror Commedia Show" in troupe colors crafted by friend of the troupe Deb.
