Commedia character workshops!
Over the next several weeks, we plan on using rehearsals to focus on each character so everyone can have a chance to try them out. This is a great chance for folks who want to try commedia without committing to a performance. Our rehearsals are Tuesday nights, from roughly 7-9 PM, at MIT, Building 36, Room 155. Check out a map of the campus at whereis.mit.edu (this will appear in a new window) and search for 36.
Congratulations
to us!
i Sebastiani picked up several mentions in the Theatre Mirror "Best of
Boston Theatre 2003" including a 'Special Citation', 'Honorable
Mentions' for both "I Capitani Gemellare" and "Da Schiava a Padrona",
and a 'Memorable Performance' to Carl West for "Da Schiava a Padrona".
Read the full
write-up.
"If you love commedia dell 'arte, then come. If you want to see where
Shakespeare, Moliere and Goldoni drew some of their inspiration, then
come. If you want to have a living, breathing theatre history lesson,
then come. If you love theatre as theatre, then come."
- Carl A. Rossi, TheaterMirror.com
"When "The Greatest Commedia Troupe in the Entire World" gets going...
something is reborn."
- Will Stackman, TheaterMirror.com
"'i Sebastiani' had something to do with 16th-century Italian mask
comedy. We're not sure what that is, but we're sure it was funny."
- Boston Phoenix, Best of 2002 |
