For The Love of Three Oranges
A COMEDY BY Hillary DePiano | Based on a scenario by Carlo Gozzi
Forget all your dusty misconceptions about the traditions of Commedia dell'Arte as The Love of Three Oranges, provides a wild, raucous slapstick comedy that is completely retooled and revised for today's audiences!
Prince Tartaglia's life is filled with misery until an evil witch and her equally evil henchmen curse him to search for three giant oranges. But this quest proves more fruitful than anyone could have imagined as a once-lonely prince discovers love, friendship, and laughter when he encounters wizards, monarchs, and a wild narrator who isn't sure how far removed from the story he really is.

The Love of Three Oranges is brought to exuberant life by the cast of young actors ages 12-17, who make up the newly formed Young Actors Ensemble for OYES!
This comic fairy tale, written by Carlo Gozzi in 1742 and updated by Hillary DePiano recently, is a treat for all ages!
