made an informed decision to attend. Please email Sophia at orangesophie AT

. The content of this show is for adults, but not overly raunchy. No one
gets nekked, but we do refer to enemas, swear words, sex, and private body
parts. The purpose of this adult-content show is to incorporate content
from period commedia which is historically accurate but not family
friendly.

For example, this show uses an enema prop inspired by this etching by
Jacques Callot circa 1615-1635

The Iron Commedia workshop is a class for any level of Commedia actor from
beginner to advanced. Students gather at 11:00am to learn the basics of
Commedia history and performance, then as a group we create a new commedia
scenario based on the characters students want to play. We rehearse a
little and perform the show at 1:00pm. Anyone is welcome to join in the
workshop as an actor. Anyone is welcome to watch the student graduation
performance at 1:00!


See you at Casa Firenzi at War of the Wings!
