Though the theatre we create can seem like pandemonium, the form we employ actually requires a great deal of precision, so training is essential. Over the years, we have developed a series of exercises that now allow us to share our love of masked physical performance with students of all ages and levels. Check out the options available.

Our Story
Our Story
When a man loves a woman, and another man, and three other women…
We met in 2006 while attending the Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy. It was a special semester, to say the least. We won’t soon forget it. When the program ended, we scattered to the wind to continue our lives, thinking often of our incredible time together in the Tuscan hills.
In 2011, ALi and Dory called up Liam, Patrick, Allegra and Molly to realize a crazy dream: to come together again and devise an original work, called Art for Sale, as a new theatre company. With that, Tut’Zanni was born.
We come from all over. Outside Tut’Zanni we work as actors, directors, teachers, musicians, accountants, bartenders, dishwashers, administrators, and more, across the United States and Europe. As far away as we usually are from each other, we're hopelessly devoted to chasing the thrill of those magical moments that emerge when we're in the same room.
In our recently announced and currently available Digital Intro Class to Commedia dell’Arte, we talk about Archetypes VS Stereotypes and thought it was a great thing to share with more folks.
