Commedia Dell High School


Commedia Dell Arte was a theatre art form during the Italian Renaissance. The performers did not use a script. Instead they used a “scenario” to guide them in an improvised performance with “stock characters”. Attempting to connect our past with our present, you will create a “stock character” based on the genre of teen movies. We will call this “commedia dell High School”.
Provide the Character’s name,
Type animal associated with,
describe the character in a paragraph,
their costume,
a sample of dialogue,
their antagonist,
their circle of friends are,
and finally what is this character’s main objective in life. Have fun!

    Animal associated with character: Raccoon

    Jim Levenstein is a average teenager that is shy towards the hot women in his high school. Everything at home always seems to end up in an awkward sexual experience for him. He never dresses high class, but in more of a causal look that wouldn't attract much attention.

    Jim's Dad: It's like banging a tennis ball against a brick wall, which can be fun. It can be fun, but it's not a game.
    Jim: Right.
    Jim's Dad: It's not a game.
    Jim: No.
    Jim's Dad: What you want is a partner to return the ball.

    Antagonist: Jim himself because of his timid reactions.

    The circle of friends are Chris 'Oz' Ostreicher, Kevin Myers, Paul Finch who all agreed to get laid on prom day.

    Jim main objective in life is to get laid.
