Aesop’s Commedia

Pantalone and his company are traveling the countryside sharing their plays with anyone who will listen. It has been a long journey and the patience of the company is starting to wear thin. They finally take a rest and Pantalone decides to share some of his favorite stories from Aesop. Unfortunately, he is constantly interrupted by the squabbles and needs of the other company members. If he could only get everyone to work together, Pantalone could finish telling his story!

Join us as our troupe of players presents some of your favorite stories from Aesop in their unique and zany commedia style. The company, including Arlecchino, Isabella, Columbina, Capitano, and Pedrolino, will leave you laughing, while teaching a few lessons along the way.

Stories include “The Crow and the Pitcher,” “The Fox and the Grapes,” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”

Specifically written for children K-5, but suitable for all ages, this show runs about an hour.
