Commedia dell'arte

Pioneer Drama Service is proud to carry commedia dell’arte musical and play adaptations of classic children’s stories, many written by the renowned, award-winning children’s playwright, Lane Riosley.  Each bursts with physical humor and witty banter that breathe new life and energy into classic fairy tales.  Everything needed for these theater productions — costumes, props and special effects — fits into a single wagon or chest on wheels, making these shows perfect for touring, professional, and small cast productions.  Your school, church or community theatre audiences will delight in these lively shows.

Pioneer Drama Service proudly carries 11 commedia dell’arte plays.
