PANTELONE RUNS FOR MAYOR!
A Commedia dell’Arte Spectacle
Commedia dell’Arte a form of improvisational theatre that relies on stock-characters slapstick humour costumes props and masks is coming to NACC!
Something strange is happening in town… The mayor’s gone the power vacuum is pulling in all the usual suspects and ambition greed and sheer stupidity are on the rise. When self-serving penny-pitching Pantelone decides to run for office it sets off a chain reaction of wild schemes unexpected betrayals and double crosses and more than a little bad poetry. But who will win the election? That’s up to fate—and maybe you.
Expect love triangles political intrigue mislabeled magic potions and plenty of laughs. And because this is Commedia dell’Arte you the audience help shape the action and the outcome of the story meaning no two performances are ever the same!
Each show is a hilarious mix of masks mayhem and improv performed by classic characters.
