Spring Woods High’s award-winning Theater Arts program will present the Italian Comedy classic, The Servant of Two Masters, by Carlo Goldoni at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 8, and at 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 5. A matinee will also be held at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 6 in the school’s mini-auditorium.
Goldoni’s 18th-century comedy about a wily servant who gets the best of his masters is one of the greatest works of commedia del’arte, a popular form of improvisational theater that began in Italy in the 1400s, and is still performed today. The comedy includes three weddings, two duels, a dance routine, a chase sequence, a love scene and food fight, and much more.
