"Most people are looking for a job...he has TWO!"
The cast of Piccolo Theatre's Servant of Two Masters has been in rehearsal for a little over a week now, and we thought you might like to meet the cast and crew of our upcoming Commedia production! Check out this great footage from our very first rehearsal last week.
Who is this "Federigo Rasponi of Turin", and why is everyone so interested in him, particularly since reports are that he was recently killed in a duel? Stay tuned....or better yet, buy a ticket to the show!

We have so much more to share about this show- about our brand new masks (made by our friend Antonio Fava), the music we've chosen, the crazy characters, the history of the show as it relates to the art of Commedia AND the role it plays in Piccolo's beginnings. You're going to love it! Stay tuned for more sneak peaks into the rehearsal process.
Oh, and did I mention that we have new ensemble members!! A belly laugh and hearty congratulations to costume designer Joshua D. Allard, lighting designer Eric Branson, and actors Nicole Keating, Jessica Puller, Vic May, Andrew Roberts, and Laura "Berner" Taylor.
Thanks to our good friend Rachel for the video! You'll be seeing a lot more work from her in upcoming blog posts.

Just in case anyone is wondering about the music....that is NOT us singing, but rather a 1950s recording of some women from Bergamo. Just so you know. :)
I like that music! Where can I find it?
I'm going to the show next Friday and can't wait. Friends have gone and say it is so funny and fantastic!!
You can find that music on a wonderful Italian music collection by Alan Lomax.
