Commedia Pinocchio

Show Times: 10:15am and 11:45am (45 minute run time)

The Pinocchio story told here by Columbine, Arlequin, Punchin, Rosetta, and Pantalone follows the events of the original Collodi tale with the unique spirit and fun of commedia dell’arte!
Italian for “comedy of the professional artists,” commedia dell’arte was a popular form of improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the 15th century and continued in its appeal for centuries. The influence of commedia dell’arte is evident in much of our contemporary comedy.
Commedia Pinocchio will be presented in collaboration with the La Fenise Theatre Compant.
