Our mentor is directing his last commedia show outside of Italy and we are the ensemble! This fall we will present a brand new show and we need your help to raise the capital to make it happen! Any amount helps!
Laughing Stock Theatre is a “Chicago-Style” Commedia dell’Arte troupe. Our members have been performing commedia separately and/or together for nearly 13 years. Our training collectively is mostly derived from people who have trained either with Antonio Fava, at Dell’Arte School, or at LeCoq’s school in France. We are bringing commedia to a modern audience. We try to maintain some traditional trappings and grounding, but let it be modern and relevant. This summer 5 of our core members will be studying directly with Antonio Fava, a maestro of commedia, Your patronage will help support those pay what you can endeavors and expand our programming.
