Bio
Patrick Rippeto is the cofounder and artistic director of Commedia Kansas City. He has been doing theatre since he was in high school, where he was exposed to works of Moliere, Shakespeare, Kauffman and Hart, and more! These instilled a love of farce and physical
comedy so much so that he pursued them until he landed in Italy. There he studied the Commedia dellArte with the master Antonio Fava. He learned the art as it should be performed and not just as a tool for actors. He has taken these classes to institutions all over the KC Metro area, from Avila, Benedictine College, and various high schools. Now, with the help of Beth Byrd-Lonski, he brings Commedia dellArte to you performers here in Kansas City. Come join us!
