Location Moore Theatre

Organized by DePauw Theatre

About
A SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS
By Carlos Goldoni and Translated by Edward J. Dent
Adapted and Directed by Caroline Good

In the tradition of commedia dell'arte, traveling acting troupes playing stock characters challenged social norms and politics in the guise of entertainment. In this classic comedy set in Venice, mayhem erupts when the wily—and chronically hungry—servant Arlecchino hatches a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once amidst the intrigue of lovers, misers, and blowhards. Identities are mistaken, engagements are broken, swords are drawn, and lovers are finally reunited in this adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s commedia dell’arte masterpiece.
November 6–9, 2025, Moore Theatre, GCPA — 7:30 p.m. (Nov. 6–8) & 3 p.m. (Nov. 9)

Tickets available two weeks before opening night here or at the box office one hour before the start time.
