I Genesii - The Page

09/06/2026

Oh, you lucky people! Did you know that i Genesii will be hosting the 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒍'𝑨𝒓𝒕𝒆 𝑺𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒖𝒎 on Memorial Day weekend of 2027?

It will be held at LaRoche University in the North Hills suburb of Pittsburgh. There'll be tons of classes on Commedia topics, but also on all things 16th Century Italian, from costuming and cooking to scribal and music, as well as rapier, both on Saturday and Sunday.

And did I mention performances? There will be opportunities for troupes, individuals, or ad hoc groups to perform both nights as well as during lunch, both for shows and musicians. To add to the excitement, there'll be a bardic circle on Friday night at the castle (yes, it's a real castle!) of Duke Byron and Duchess Ariella, just 20 minutes from the site! Info about the castle is here: https://sites.pitt.edu/~caram/castleindex.htm

The gods have spoken! A wedding shall occur at the event known as i Feastii! But whose nuptials shall it be? The young lovers, Flavio and Ovaria? The servants, Nespola and Arlecchino? Or will Dirndelina steal Arlecchino from his faithful Nespola?

You must reserve for i Feastii by MARCH 25, and seats are going fast! If you want to see the commedia troupe i Genesii at its funniest, gaudiest, and most of all, BAWDIEST, plus an amazing feast by two culinary masters, lærifaðir jǫrundr hinn rotinn and Lady Kattera Dopplerin, reserve now!

Seats will NOT be available at the door. More information and a link to pre-register is available here:

What's new with i Genesii, The Greatest Commedia dell'Arte Troupe in the Known World (TM)??

We have a Pennsic show you won't believe! (Because we don't believe it, either...)

The Doge is dead! Dottore and Pantalone are best friends! Their wives are... not! Their daughters are in love with random strangers they met in the piazza! As Brighella schemes, where will it all end? Sploosh!

Featuring lots of talented new cast members, we think you'll love "Friendship is Magic", performed on Monday night of War week at 9pm in the Performing Arts Tent. See you there!
