"Oh no, Mimics again?!!"

One week ago, our definitely-human Chest E. Cognito attended Voyeuristic Intention's screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the CWRU Film Society cosplaying everyone's favorite dinner guest Eddie! Chesty was even one of Frank's Choice costume contest winners!

Visiting this shadowcast was a blast as VI was instrumental in the foundation of The Confused Greenies 19 years ago.

Yesterday was Towel Day, celebrating the amazing humorous sci-fi works by Douglas Adams! From our own "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" parodies to anime fanservice farces and steamy steampunk shenanigans, towels have been a common, uh, COSTUME in our Patchwork Productions!

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." --Douglas Adams

Did you know #Caturday is a great day to catch William Shakespeare's "A Comedy of Errors" at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University?!

We went yesterday but you can still catch this play tonight and matinee tomorrow!

Though this play shares a lot of elements with commedia dell'arte it's actually inspired by the same Roman comedies that influenced commedia. But it's all that good farcical fun we love!

16 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 4 when the troupe got really active including modernized commedia dell'rte parodies of both "Doctor Who" and our first musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"!

And this year we're working another musical RHPS parody in traditional historic fantasy commedia pastorale style!

17 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 3 when we expanded from our traditional commedia dell'arte roots to study a different culture's historic improvised theatre in our first "Mad Words: the Art of Kyōgen" at Case Western Reserve University's Anime Marathon!

18 days until the troupe's 19th birthday so we're retrospectively counting down continuing with Year 2 when we adapted "The Horoscope" as our first traditional commedia dell'arte full three-act play which we'd later encore several times as one of our faves!

Yesterday (April 6) was National Library Day to remind us of the vital role these institutions play in our society! Much of what we've learned about commedia dell'arte and countless other topics as well as joyful reading for fun has been made possible do to robust community libraries!

If you love libraries as much as we do, perhaps take a moment today to remind your elected officials how important they are to all of us.

"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert." --Andrew Carnegie

In 19 days we celebrate the troupe's 19th birthday! So we're counting down our 19 years, starting with Year 1 and our first performance under the banner of The Confused Greenies, a short modernized commedia dell'arte farce for the combined Carnevale & Mardi Gras celebration at Case Western Reserve University !

In all the focus on Commedia Day, we forgot to mention that this month marks the TWENTIETH anniversary of the first commedia dell'arte performance by our Artistic Director and Capopcomico Jess Rudolph while a student at Case Western Reserve University! That foundational show (for La Dolce Vita's Carnevale) helped pave the way for the formation of The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company a little over a year later!

Speaking of Carnevale at CWRU, it returns tomorrow night!

It should come to no surprise that we in The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company love puppetry so it would be remiss to not let you all know that our friends in the CWRU Film Society are screening a most sensational inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational movie tonight!

La Dolce Vita, the Italian culture student club at Case Western Reserve University, is holding their annual Carnevale this Saturday, March 1! While we will probably sadly not be making an appearance, this event is foundational for The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company and where we got our start, first inspiring us to perform commedia dell'arte, encouraging us to form a troupe, and hosting our very first ever show!
