What are you doing for WorldWide Commedia Day? (Feb 25)

Worldwide Commedia Day is 4 days away– how are you going to celebrate?

Faction Of Fools, one of the organizers, has a list of what’s going on- there’s something on nearly every continent!

This is what they have so far (for the most updated list, visit the Faction of Fools website! )

I’m going to be in Chicago– so will try to check out the show at the Piccolo Theatre in Evanston.
