The Blue Priest: A Short Comedy Sketch About the Death of Antonio Vivaldi

By Patrick Rainville Dorn

Asthmatic and prolific composer Antonio "The Red Priest" Vivaldi is smothered by the affections and attentions of an adoring soprano and a crusty caregiver in this short but broad comedy sketch. 

This easy-to-stage skit, with plum roles for two women and one man, is sprinkled with biographical factoids, but is otherwise totally made up. About 1,600 words. Rated PG-13 for language.
