They are a Commedia dell’ Arte Company, specializing in public out-door performances using a mobile stage. Last season they performed in Rockport, Camden and Friendship. This year they will have even more performances. Commedia dell’ Arte is essentially “long-form improv.” That is, actors know their characters and the plot, but invent their dialogue on the spot. Some of the traditional male characters wear masks. It’s enormous fun, and the audience loves it. Pn Facebook, check out the group “Rolling Stock Company” to see some photos. The first cast meeting is in late April to review the script and figure out a rehearsal schedule to meet actors’ needs. Meetings and rehearsals are normally held in Rockport—6 Pine Street. *Interested? *Email URock faculty member Jon Potter at [log in to unmask] [image: divider] "Driven to Lead" Conference at UMA on April 10th Free to all UMA students, this conference will feature some well connected Maine leaders.
