Commedia Dell High School


Commedia Dell Arte was a theatre art form during the Italian Renaissance. The performers did not use a script. Instead they used a “scenario” to guide them in an improvised performance with “stock characters”. Attempting to connect our past with our present, you will create a “stock character” based on the genre of teen movies. We will call this “commedia dell High School”.
