Giants of Commedia and Commedia Character Shorts

Did you see the video of our first rehearsal?  Looks like fun, doesn't it? We have so much more in store for you here- more sneak peaks into our rehearsal process, photos, fun historical facts, and our upcoming "Commedia Character Shorts" series.  Once a week, we'll post some info about the characters in Servant of Two Masters alongside a candid video interview with the actor who will be performing that role. Whether you are a Commedia dell'Arte junkie, or have never heard about it before reading this post, you're going to love these! Keep your eyes peeled for the first installment about Truffaldino!

In the meantime, we thought we'd pass along this great blog to you:  Clownlink 
A lot of the blog topics are right up Piccolo's alley, and the author is doing some special posts in honor of World Commedia Day (which happens to fall on opening night of Servant!). Check it out to find some info on Giorgio Strehler, Dario Fo, Flaminio Scala, Carlo Mazzone-Clamenti, and much more!
