Our comedy varies greatly, from Shakespeare and other centuries-old classics, to more contemporary pieces and Piccolo Theatre originals.

Piccolo Theatre's criteria for comic theater? The comedy has to be full of energy and vitality; the comedy has to be physical, emotional and intellectual; and the comedy has to illuminate the unity of human nature.

Piccolo Theatre's intimate, 50-seat theater space fuels the energy which drives the energetic, high-speed comedic stage action. The physicality of the performances feels larger than life because of the close proximity between audience and cast.
