EVENT:
The Anteaus Company's "Pedrolino and the Hankie of Doom, or,
                                           He Thought It Was Pesto, but It's Not."
                                          Directed by John Achorn

DESCRIPTION:
A Commedia dell'Arte show, using traditional elements of mask and character archetypes, costumed in a mixture of Renassance and modern styles. Pedrolino, a foolish and shy servant, encounters an ominous hankie which he believes holds the seeds for his - and perhaps mankind's -- destruction. Rumors circulate and snowball out of control, until the whole town anticipates some unknown disaster. Although the show is improvised and specifics change from performance to performance, a happy ending is traditional.
