"FLAVIO BETRAYED: A COMMEDIA" OPENS NEXT WEEK!

Flavio Betrayed is a ridiculously silly show that features disguise, deceit, insults, pop culture references, intellectual humor, comic swordfights, sexy pants, gaudy hats, bawdy bits, slapstick, and stinky cheese, all presented in the traditional style of Commedia dell’arte. Our cast, crew, and creative team has been hard at work over the past several weeks with one goal in mind…don’t leave a single laugh on the table!

Flavio and Isabella are a young couple who are deeply in love. Flavio’s best friend, Oratio, hatches a scheme to steal the hand of the beautiful Isabella. Meanwhile, Isabella's father has arranged for her to marry Capitan Spavento, a soldier and “poet” considerably past his prime. It is up to Isabella's faithful and clever servant, Pedrolino, to uncross the stars as he attempts to keep Isabella and Flavio together, but will his efforts be enough?

The laughs fly fast and furious in this side-achingly hilarious show that you won’t want to miss! Tickets are on sale now online and will be available at the door starting 1 hour prior to showtime. 

"Flavio Betrayed: A Commedia" is produced with special permission from the author.

At the Dassel History Center


After escaping wrongful imprisonment, a mysterious storyteller enters an abandoned railroad spur on the outskirts of New York City, Christmas Eve, 1893. In exchange for some hobo stew, "O.P." entertains a rag-tag mix of seemingly lost souls by spinning a few tales, and in the process rekindles the spirit of giving. He magically transforms the crew into players to stage O. Henry's "The Last Leaf" and "The Gift of the Magi," and others. Wordplay, trickery, sentimental holiday fare, this is a heartwarming alternative to all of those Christmas carols.

“An O. Henry Christmas” is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
