What it Is

Welcome to the online development log for the The Puppeteers, an original comedy by the contemporary commedia dell'arte troupe Zuppa del Giorno. Here you will find lots of research, disjointed rambling and spit-balling, all of which has led to the creation of a show.
Want to book it?
The Puppeteers are available for mid-size venues, with sufficient time to remount! It's a show that can be customized to any area, any audience. Simply contact director Jeff Wills on email!

Running Gag -

Don’t know how this fits, but here’s an idea

Running gag of the pillow fluffing
1. Leonoria offers whomever a seat. They go to sit, but the cushion on chair is not quite right and she snatches it away at last second to fluff it. Person sits with a thump.
2. Oh, I am so sorry, please take a seat. She offers another chair. Same thing happens, person A sits with a thump.
3. Person A grabs pillow fluffs it her/himself, carefully places it in chair, keeping her/his eye on me for the whole time and goes to sit down. The other character (B) needs chair for some reason, takes whole chair away at last second. Person A falls to the floor with a crash.

  1. I love it, both for the way it emphasizes character and the potential for grievous physical harm. ;)
