Pantalone Runs For Mayor: Naughty Night Out
November 6 @ 7:00 pm
PANTELONE RUNS FOR MAYOR!
A Commedia dell’Arte Spectacle
Commedia dell’Arte, a form of improvisational theatre that relies on stock-characters, slapstick humour costumes, props and masks, is coming to NACC!
Something strange is happening in town… The mayor’s gone, the power vacuum is pulling in all the usual suspects, and ambition, greed, and sheer stupidity are on the rise. When self-serving, penny-pitching Pantelone decides to run for office, it sets off a chain reaction of wild schemes, unexpected betrayals and double crosses, and more than a little bad poetry. But who will win the election? That’s up to fate—and maybe you.
Expect love triangles, political intrigue, mislabeled magic potions, and plenty of laughs. And because this is Commedia dell’Arte, you, the audience, help shape the action and the outcome of the story, meaning no two performances are ever the same!
Each show is a hilarious mix of masks, mayhem, and improv, performed by classic characters.
What to Expect
Audience Involvement: Expect a little playful participation – but nothing too scary!
Style: Classic commedia dell’arte – masks, slapstick, satire, and audience play
Runtime: About 50-60 minutes (short, sharp, and hilarious)
Naughty Night Out: The same cast of characters, with the same premise, but a different experience! Recommended for ages 14+ (saucier jokes, cheeky twists, sexual comedy)
