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!

It's the Monday before Cleveland ConCoction and the Monday after Zipcon - so motivational good vibes is pretty important for the troupe right about now, heh.
Luckily sci-fi is all about making whatever can be possible and sometimes whatever is impossible into a reality!

November 11 is Pocky Day to celebrate the popular Japanese sweet biscuit stick treat! It's also how Dottore Who (our bumbling traveler of both time and space) can detect they've landed again on the anime parody world of Neo-Nippon 3 due to the abnormal concentrations of #Pocky particles!

Turning #Inktober into a Commedia dell'Arte Scenario Writing Challenge! Again!
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!

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!"!
