The play, performed by College of the Ozarks students, is directed by Professor Segura. This historic Italian comedy follows Truffaldino, a clever but perpetually hungry servant, juggling two jobs in secret. His double-dealing spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slapstick mayhem, and romantic mishaps.

Segura shared the inspiration for the play, “The Servant of Two Masters has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It is fun for the whole family and makes you laugh at how, for many of us, we make life more complex than it needs to be. We hope to give the audience a night of true comedic timing and heart-felt performances.”
