These are the elements you must include in your commedia dell'arte scenes:
stock characters, including Pantalone (red pants), Il Dotore (black and white), Capitano (brown), La Signora (overly colourful, fancy clothes), inamoratti (stylish, young lovers) and at least one wily servant (Arlecchino) (hand me down clothes)
each character MUST have a lazzi
a plot based on love and money
physical comedy (falls, fights, accidents, etc.)
spoofs - current events
pop culture
music -- recorded music
sing and dance, if possible
at least 10 jokes per minute
Make sure you check off all these elements. They are all essential.
