2-Phoria
2 PHORIA is Ardyth Johnson and Brian Foley. Ridiculous, inventive, and inspired by the fantasies of a child, the two performers of 2Phoria use their combined 60+ years as physical comedy professionals to lead the audience through a hilarious romp of transformations and dreams come true. Two ridiculous humble workers become glamorous circus performers and fabulous illusionists, at least in their own minds. This interactive physical comedy show is at home on outdoor festival stages or indoor theatres, and is the brainchild of Ardyth Johnson and Brian Foley. With multiple appearances at festivals on four continents and television programs such as Shining Time Stationand Sesame Street, these award-winning clowns have been called "The Perfect Comedy Partners", "Absolutely Hilarious", and "A Dazzling Display". 20 - 40 minute modular show is appropriate for all ages, and for non-English speakers.

Captiano's Got Talent
A 30 Minute Commedia Dell' Arte show using masks, slapstick comedy, improvisation, stock characters and audience interaction. Some of the modern references to Commedia Dell' Arte range from Shakespeare comedies, to Three's Company, to American Dad.
Captiano is holding a competition called “Capitano’s Got Talent”- a competition where he, and only he, performs, and of course wins…because there are no competitors. Until Isabella, with her servant, Columbina, demand to be entered into the competition. Capitano agrees to let her in based on the “$2000” entrance fee she agrees to pay. Capitano then tries everything to rig the competition to win. In the end, Capitano is shown the error of his ways and the whole group performs together.

Phoney Baloney Pantalone
Phoney Baloney is the whole package- bright colours, fast paced 50 minute show, over the top characters, singing and dancing, audience participation and repetition of key elements. This is exactly how you do a show for children. Performed in the style of Commedia Dell Arte , we tell a simple tale with wide appeal. The beautiful Isabella is to marry her beloved Englebert. The eve of her wedding, her miserly father Pantalone becomes convinced there is a monster in the closet and the ceremony must be cancelled. The clever Columbina hatches a plan to help Pantalone to master his fears so that everyone can have their happy ending.
