Discussions of commedia dell'arte.

i Sebastiani is an acclaimed troupe of Commedia dell'Arte performers, with a sincere interest in both popular performance, and the late Italian Renaissance. Now, in addition to bringing Commedia dell'Arte performances in classic style, these brilliant people are making Commedia accessible to audiences and students alike. i Sebastiani was founded in 1990 (and started out as an SCA group), and practices in the Boston area. They have performed internationally, but mostly have appeared near the East Coast of the US. New members are welcome.
