COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
La Fiamma
La Fiamma is La Fenice's children's production arm. Our shows for the young are hilarious romps through serious content. Our productions handle TEKS-aligned social studies content using the fast-paced, ultra-physical style of Commedia dell'Arte, a theatrical style that blends comedy with social commentary.
If Looney Tunes did a show about the Founding Fathers, this would be that show, minus the falling anvils.

the
The story of Texas' founding is the stuff of legend. Everyone "Remembers the Alamo," just probably not quite like this...
The Ballad of Four Rancheros tells the story of four people on both sides of the conflict who are just trying to make a go of it. Developed with the assistance of local historians, this play provides a larger context for the Texas Revolution, honoring early Texas pioneers and the Tejanos that brought order to the Texas landscape before their arrival. Using broad, physical comedy, La Fiamma's professional actors make Texas history memorable for Austin area children.
