Jeremy Glenn's performance at Delaware Arts Festival

The Delaware Arts Castle Theater presents
PINOCCHIO (Commedia dell'Arte)

So what is Commedia dell'Arte?
Commedia dell'Arte (Italian: "play of professional artists") is a form of improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the 16th century and held its popularity through the 18th century, although it is still performed today.[1] Performances were unscripted, held outside, and used few props. They were free to watch, funded by donations. A troupe consisted of ten people: eight men and two women. Outside Italy the form was also known as "Italian Comedy".


So here the troupe performing at the Delaware Arts Festival on July 17th. It was a nice day outside and we really enjoy the performance. Watch for the big show coming up on JUNE 7th at the Columbus Arts Festival, Downtown Columbus.
