The cast and crew of The Servant of Two Masters would like to wish you a happy commedia dell’arte day! Celebrated every February 25th, commedia dell’arte day is an international celebration hosted by the Italian cultural association SAT. SAT has held this annual celebration since 2005, in a effort to help Italy and the United Nations (UNESCO) honor commedia as an official piece of “Intangible Cultural Heritage“.

This year, the largest part of the commedia dell’arte day celebration is being held in Istanbul. Running from the 17th to the 28th of February, the commedia dell’arte celebration features a long list of commedia performances, presentations, workshops, and a carnival parade.

As The Servant of Two Masters is built on the commedia tradition, we are happy to add just a small part to this celebration!

Contextual Resources for The Cherry Orchard

The creative team began working on this production a little more than a year ago. In my role as production dramaturg, I was happy to create a website of resources first for the creative team, and then when we went into rehearsals, for the cast. And now that we are opening the show, the resources offer valuable perspectives to our audiences as well.

Moving to the Cherry Orchard

March 20, 2025 08:14 PM
After months of rehearsing on a taped cement floor with acting blocks in place of benches and frames in place of doors, the company finally moves to the theatre space, to a stage with levels and furniture, working doors and chairs out in the audience. The beloved cherry orchard feels so much more real now.
