SACCO & VANZETTI: A TRAGEDIA DELL' ARTE
Written and Directed by John Bellomo In 1919, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants and anarchists, were arrested on suspicion of robbing a shoe factory and murdering the paymaster and a guard. Their trial and subsequent executions sparked worldwide protests due to concerns about bias against the defendants based on their political beliefs and immigrant status. Through the lens of commedia dell’arte, Sacco and Vanzetti: A Tragedia dell ’Arte, will highlight the absurdity of the case while being a comic foil for the tragic events of Sacco’s and Vanzetti’s lives. Recommended for ages 13 and up due to themes of murder and crime. Previews: April 1, 2, 3 at 8pm Opens: April 4 at 8pm Runs: April 8 to 18 at 8pm (Two matinee performances at 3pm) |
