COMMEDIA PALOOZA
We don't know what will happen, but we can't do it without
you.
The Actors' Gang leaps into the unknown, improvising a
raucous, thrilling, and completely unique performance.
With a new theme each performance, you'll watch as a cast of
quick-witted improvisers takes a beloved classic and gleefully
smashes it to pieces, rebuilding it into a chaotic, hilarious,
and wildly inappropriate new story.

Once Upon a Planet
Our young researchers at the Elemental Research Center are
working hard to save the planet. Divided into four
departments: Earthworms, Air Supply, Fire Department, and
Water Filters; their research and development comes to
standstill when Mr. Pantalone, who owns ERC shuts it
down...and everyone is FIRED! A meeting is scheduled in the
Green Room for everyone to persuade him to reconsider and keep
the center up and running, and save the planet.
Saturday Classes for Kids performance on Saturday, June 14th
CCUSD After School Program performance on Sunday, June 15th
Both performances are scheduled to begin at 12:30pm.

Summer Camp at The Actors' Gang
Our Summer Camps allow young artists to experience the art of
theater-making and provide skills to develop their own
creative voices. Our camp sessions explore character
development utilizing Commedia dell’Arte characters from the
16th Century and playing four states of emotion: happiness,
sadness, anger, and fear. In addition to playing characters,
participants build ensemble through improv and theater games,
create costumes, do make-up, and make friends…all in a safe
environment where they are encouraged to be themselves. At the
end of the two weeks, participants share a special performance
of an original theater piece, playing alongside company
members from The Actors’ Gang.
