Carolina Renaissance Festival: Commedia dell'arte

Date

Fall 2024

Location

Carolina Renaissance Festival Fairgrounds, Davidson, NC

Director

Carlos Alexis Cruz

Led by Professor of Physical Theatre Carlos Alexis Cruz, our troupe spent a season working at the Carolina Renaissance Festival, presenting various short scenes inspired by the Italian Commedia dell'arte tradition. The two stock scenes, titled "Bank Robbery" and "The Cookbook" featured improvised dialogue and exaggerated movements, and troupe members rotated roles between each performance. The primary stock characters were Zanni (1-3) and Pantalone.

Members: Irene Nash | Zackary Mahon | Kat Fletcher | Susie Ayres | Ayla Claypool
