Commedia in the Park

Join these traditional stock characters such as the “dirty old man,” the “tricky servant,” the “bombastic (and cowardly) captain,” and the “quack doctor,” as they hilariously navigate issues of today.

Starting in the 1550s, commedia was born in the streets and markets as theatre for the people, commedia characters and their low comedy still hold sway today. If you love physical comedy and the magical transformative power of masks, join us at Maritime Heritage Park!
