1st Zanni is the umbrella under which American theatre-maker Tempest Wisdom writes, directs, performs, and facilitates.

With 13 years of experience in Chicago, Seattle, and now York, 1ZT draws on a variety of clowning practices to create energetic, engaging and interactive audience experiences.

Like its namesake, 1st Zanni creates theatre that is capricious, cheeky, and too clever for its own good.
