Highly Recommended! "The folks at Piccolo Theatre have emerged as one of the few theatre troupes skilled and disciplined enough to create wonderful Commedia dell’Arte."
-Tom Williams, chicagocritic.com
Recommended! "Omen Sade is a spectacular highpoint as the title servant. Sade is more than just quick on his feet--he exemplifies physical comedy."

"...a kinetic exploration of the art of performance...This successful venture is another testament to Mr. Szostek and his cast's love of performance."
-Brian Murphy, Evanston Roundtable
"...A fresh, delightful, and laugh-out-loud funny production. Physical comedy is the order of the day, and director John Szostek has brilliantly coordinated the interactions of a very energetic and acrobatically talented cast."
-Laura Kolb, centerstagechicago.com
"...this company performs pure “Commedia dell’Arte”! And what they do is sheer perfection." -Alan Bresloff, aroundthetownchicago.com

"This The Servant of Two Masters offers an embarrassment of comedic riches." -Tom Wittom, Evanston Review
"...[Omen Sade] really got to the heart of Truffaldino, and the quick physical movements, the flights of fancy, and the schemes. He was a delight to watch. -Adam Gertsacov, www.clownlink.com
"...the production delivers charm as well as energy. The simple pleasure of buffoonery – that is the hearty spectacle that Piccolo achieves in its economically tiny space."

You all are amazing! Why hasn't anyone proposed going to Broadway with this - seriously - the world needs to meet you people!
Have to agree with the sentiment of the last comment, but I think a small intimate theatre is exactly the right setting for this.
these pictures on this post are also truly amazing...
Kudos to the photographer and the players.
I haven't been to Piccolo in a couple of years, but looking at these photos & reading these posts, I'm going to have to hightail it back! These costumes & this set look gorgeous! WOW!!Is this production in the round? Teh last production we saw was in the round...but maybe you've expanded since then?
Best!
BInkmann,
Thanks for your kind praise! So incredibly tickled that you came back to see us and loved the show.
The theatre space has not expanded at all, actually! We just have very creative designers who are able to transform our little space into whatever we need for each show. It may very well be completely different for the next show you see. Speaking of which, we can't wait so have you back in our audience! Keep an eye out here and our email blasts to find out dates and details about our 2011-2012 season.
