On Saturday, April 25 we celebrate our troupe's big 20th birthday so we're doing a retrospective countdown! Year 11 (2016 - 2017) was our first time crafting and bringing a full three-act production to the Popular Cultural & the Deep Past historic conference at the Ohio State University Center on Medieval & Renaissance Studies with our thematic commedia dell'arte parody of magic and fantasy! Year 12 (2017 - 2018) we joined famous commedia dell'arte troupe i Sebastiani to finally stage "The Heterodyne Boys & the Race to the West Pole" to adapt the play briefly seen in the pages of the "Girl Genius" gaslamp fantasy graphic novel series and with the creators themselves in the audience as Comic Guests of Honor at Marcon! Year 13 (2018 - 2019) we went back to school - specifically to Miskatonic University that was experiencing "Tentacle Difficulties" in our first Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos inspired parody farce for Cleveland ConCoction's eldritch horror themed convention! Year 14 (2019 - 2020) featured a touring run of one of our favorite commedia dell'arte plays, a fairy funny farce called "The Hazards of Hunting Red-Caps" that we performed three times for Ohio State University, three times for Pennsic, once for Midrealm 50 Year, and more! Year 15 (2020 - 2021) fell entirely into the pandemic social distancing era but that didn't stop us from staging virtual shows over Zoom including the premiere of Mistress Aibhilin inghean Daibhidh's three-act commedia dell'arte "The Calendimaggio Affair"! Follow us and check back soon for the final set of years! #CommediaDellArte #Commedia #Improv #Improvisation #Theater #ClevelandConCoction #Pennsic #PennsicWar #SCA #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #Birthday #Anniversary #20Years

We're in the middle of an amazing weekend performing at Cleveland ConCoction and though the kitties of the Patchwork Palace aren't here they wish you have an Out-of-This-World and Stellar #Caturday! #Cat #Kitty #Cats #Kitties #Alien #ScienceFiction #SciFi #Parody #ClevelandConCoction #CleCon

Come down, down, down to a fanciful semi-improvisational comedic play by The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre as we explore the depths of a farce of adventure, deception, and goblins in love TOMORROW (Saturday, March 7) at Cleveland ConCoction!

It's the Monday before Cleveland ConCoction and the Monday after Zipcon - so motivational good vibes is pretty important for the troupe right about now, heh. Luckily sci-fi is all about making whatever can be possible and sometimes whatever is impossible into a reality! "Science fiction to me is the ultimate art form, because it speculates on bodies and worlds that don't exist." --Oneohtrix Point Never #Theater #Improv #Improvisation #ClevelandConCoction #CleCon #ScienceFiction #SciFi #SciFiCon #Parody #DoctorWho #Anime #TARDIS #Dalek #MagicalGirl #SailorMoon #Mecha #GiantRobot

In two months we celebrate our 20th birthday - but earlier this week (the same day Carnevale ended and the new lunarsolar year began) marked the 19th anniversary of our very first performance under the banner of The Confused Greenies and i Verdi Confusi! Appropriate for the occasion, that was also staged to entertain Carnevale at our alma mater Case Western Reserve University! And over 450 performances since then! #CommediaDellArte #Commedia #Improv #Improvisation #Theater #Pennsic #PennsicWar #SCA #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism #ClevelandConCoction #CleCon #SciFi #Anime #Prody #DoctorWho #DnD #Fantasy #CWRU #CaseWesternReserveUniversity
