We in The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company thought that today (the first day of the month of April) was an appropriate time to... uh.... announce our... um.... 2025 "season" .... Yeah... Enjoy!

It's the first of April so our troupe of fools encourages you to have foolish fun and folly today - and in fact everyday! We're not talking cruel pranks but the joys being mirthful and silly can bring to life!

We learned commedia dell'arte in a medieval re-creation organization so our Players of the Patchwork might just be medievalists! Happy Hug a Medievalist Day! (hugging with consent of course)

Just trying out these Geffel M300 mics. They're pencil condensers but oooohhhh boyyy these are premium sounding.

Excuse my shite playing.

Arranged so one is pointing at around the 14th fret, the other at the bridge. Panned left and right. Bridge is a little darker due to position. Together its balanced out sweetly.

March 31 is International Transgender Day of Visibility. People who are trans, nonbinary, fluid, and all identities have always been part of theatre, culture, and our world and the performing arts is built on expressing yourself and being seen - even when (and sometimes especially so) when wearing costumes and masks).

Celebrate and ensure trans rights are human rights!

Our troupe is a patchwork of players from all walks of life. Together the myriad of patchwork pieces makes something amazing and brilliant. Every patch is valid and wanted.

Last Monday of March, so tonight I'm going to keep an appointment with my musical process. From 8-9:30 PM EDT (UTC-4) I'll perform my 253rd #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of the Monday-night series. Tonight...could be #pedalSteel again, or something else if the mood changes. Let's find out where the music leads. https://twitch.tv/onezeromusic

Tomorrow is, of course, a very important holiday for The Confused Greenies of Players' Patchwork Theatre Company!

If you get the chance to get to Sydney before they end the run, it's a solid laugh.

Two tips: Prepare some funny names before you go and make sure your phone is fully charged.

I called out Slartibartfast at one point and they ran with it in the most delightful way. Be inventive, it will be repaid.

If you can't get to Sydney, then you might also find Adventure is Nigh entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TjirjvpnEY&list=PLUBKwq0XD0ue33z9bbhjnLE2lfSxk31Ob

In a *completely not topical* new commedia dell'arate skit, Brighella discusses his action plans to ensure Pantalone's daughter Isabella marries Capitano Testosteroné's instead of Oratio. What could possibly go wrong due to this chat session?

March 30 is Take a Walk in the Park Day to encourage us to spend time in nature for our physical, mental, and emotional health!

We're looking at taking our new fantastical commedia dell'arte pastorale "Adoration on Arcadia" out into a park or woods this spring!

Alright, #improv marathon week is over! Three #longforms, one #cabaret format, plus one workshop session.

During this week, I have died once (presumably murdered), been a ball pool executioner once (but I brought pastries for the condemned), had a car accident after tokyo drifting a bit too much (with the toys in my bedroom), I have helped hide the body of my mistress' husband (and taught her kid how to dance), investigated that murder (as a bigoted southern cop), been dug up from a grave (where I lived as a maggot), survived Valentine (as a flower), crawled through a tiny apartment (as a real-estate agent)...

All in all, this was a good week, but I might be a little tiny bit exhausted.

Been on stage twice this week for two distinct #improv #longform. The first venue was rather full, the second mostly empty.

Two more longforms planned before the week ends. I hope we have some more public.

It's the last #Caturday of the month that comes in like a lion!

Maybe you'll see our Leoni as an enchanted magical beast from Arcadia in a future commedia dell'arate pastorale this year?

My 252nd Monday-night #ambient #guitar #improv is now out! This one's on #pedalSteel, plays with silences, sparseness, slowly-assembling harmonies. The music is both the map and the journey with this one. $0/name-your-price at https://snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-at-a-distance-252

This evening it was time again for my #improv #course And man, that was just what I needed. The theme today was playing with different theather styles: comedy, slapstick, tragedy, musical, opera. One of the exercises was to create a 3 minute play with every minute a different style. Me and 2 people opened ours with opera. In which I played a package deliverer who falls in love with a married woman. Followed by physical #theater and an absurd duel with napkins. Everybody died BTW. So much fun.
