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.

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.
