Press Release Summary: Belen Jesuit brings new life to commedia dell\'arte through
its fall production of Carlo Goldoni\'s \"The Servant of Two Masters\" which will run
from November 7th to November 9th at Belen Jesuit\'s Roca Theater.

Press Release Body: MIAMI, FL (October 29, 2007) - Commedia dell'arte, a popular
form of theater born out of 15th century Italy, is being brought to life once more,
this time by Belen Jesuit through a modernized version of Carlo Goldoni's The
Servant of Two Masters. A cross between traditional Italian commedia and postmodern
vaudeville, this new version of Goldoni's classic pits the madcap servant
Truffaldino against masters, mistresses, lovers, lawyers, and 27 plates of
meatballs.

Translated and adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and Paolo Emilio Landi, this contemporary
version of the classic work is "nothing short of brilliant. SERVANT does commedia
proud! Gags, wisecracks, sly sexual references, acrobatics. this is the real thing!
Imagine a Bob Hope or Woody Allen comedy written by Monty Python and performed with
the physical bravura of Chaplin or Keaton." (The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) With
places in the show for plenty of laughs and audience participation, this energetic
production will keep audiences wanting more.

Performances will be November 7th and 8th at 7:30 p.m. and November 9th at 8 p.m. at
Belen Jesuit's own Roca Theater located at 500 SW 127 Avenue. Tickets can be
purchased in advance by calling Ms. Clara Kline at (786) 621-4624 or at the box
office starting 30 minutes before each performance. All tickets are $10 per person.

The Colegio de Belén was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba. In 1961, the Jesuits
relocated the school to Miami after being exiled from Cuba by the Castro regime.
They re-established the school under the name of Belen Jesuit Prep School. The
school\'s love of the arts eventually brought about the construction of its Ignatian
Center for the Arts which was completed in 2003. The ICA includes a theater, art
gallery, music rehearsal hall, stagecraft workshop, amphitheater, and classrooms for
Belen humanities students. The fully-equipped, 665-seat Ophelia & Juan Js. Roca
Theater is one of the largest in west Miami-Dade County.
