As Commedia Zuppa, Todd Espeland and Allison Williams create original works,
using masks, commedia dell'arte, circus and physical theatre; design and
build masks. They share these techniques,
as goals in themselves and as applicable to actor training, with student and

non-company members.
Their philosophy of work is one of collaborative creation and the exploration
of theatre as
a physical form.
Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Commedia Zuppa presents performances, workshops, and
residencies throughout North America, including work Off-Broadway and for
theatre festivals, professional theatres, universities and schools.
