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!

Mark Dennebaum Jr. & that Thing called Theatre

Every so often, the collaboration involved in a creative endeavor (like theatre) goes beyond simple reciprocation, and there are unexpected rewards.  When Mark and 25/8 Productions Inc. came by and then created a fantastic promotional video for us, I thought that was the end-all, be-all of results.  I was gratifyingly wrong.  A whole heap of 25/8ers came to the show opening night, and apparently enjoyed themselves and - much to my surprise - Mark ended up writing a really wonderful response to what turned out to be among his first encounters with live theatre.  Your can read that here.

I like this about theatre, that it can have a direct effect on someone and you get to be there to witness it happen.  I also love this about information technology, that it gives us the opportunity to communicate about that kind of experience not just in the room, but more at large.  Lastly, we like Mark.  Somebody out there make him rich and famous, stat.
