CAST

Beppe Allocca (Actor, Director) is a “Theatrical Craftsman”. He defines

himself this way to encapsulate his great passions in two words: being a

knitwear craftsman in Prato and a monologist. Craftsmanship enters the

theater and vice versa since his first show is about his own work as a

craftsman (the story of the rag-pickers of Prato) and he travels around

Italy to markets and fairs to sell the objects he produces; and he is firmly

convinced that the market is theater. The solo-show is his favorite

theatrical form. The aim is to tell apparently complicated and bizarre

stories but lightened by a comic and entertainment approach.

Roberta Provenzani (Director) Theater director, actress, voice over talent, works with Nanni,

Ammirata, Sammartano, Di Buduo, Del Bono, Monti. In 2017, he founded the Le Patrizie APS

Cultural Association with Martina Marone, giving life to a social, cultural and artistic reality, the

basis of a life and work project. In 2020 she opened the Patrizie acting school with Marone. In

2021 she directed the opera “Le destin de Carmen” at the Teatro Argentina in Rome. In 2023,

again together with Marone, she opened STUDIO SEI – Art, Culture Show, a company that deals with entertainment training and production. She currently directs the rising star of the Italian comedy scene, Giuseppe Allocca, in his "Genesi del Rigenero", with which won the "Fringe Award" at the Rome Fringe Festival in 2023.

IN SCENA! ITALIAN THEATER FESTIVAL NY

Started in 2013, the year of Italian Culture in the States, by Kairos Italy Theater, KIT Italia and

Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimo’ at NYU in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in the US, In

Scena! presents – each year – a survey of the best Italian theater from Italy, in New York City.

The festival features full productions that have already toured in Italy as well as readings of

Italian plays in translation, lectures, and exchanges between Italian and International artists.

The goal is to promote greater awareness of Italian theater and Italian artists among New York

City theatergoers, and to build a bridge between the artistic scenes in Italy and the US. As of

today In Scena! Has brought Italian Theater to New York, Washington DC, Boston, Detroit, Los

Angeles, San Diego, Santa Rosa, Calgary and Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada). Now, in its 11th

edition, the Festival arrives in Toronto while still traveling in the 5 NYC boroughs.
