Fratelli Bologna
Lead with Impact. Speak with Authority. Own the Room.
Where the Tools of Theater Meet the Business of Leadership.
Let’s face it—most communication training is forgettable. A few frameworks, a nice lunch, and back to business as usual.
That’s not us.
At Fratelli Bologna, we come from the world of theater, where if you lose the room, you lose the plot. For over 20 years, we’ve translated that urgency into high-performance communication training for leaders who actually need to move the needle—not just look polished while saying nothing.
We use the tools of improvisation, storytelling, stage presence, and purpose to help executives speak with more authority, show up with more authenticity, and lead with real impact. No gimmicks. No trust falls. Just transformational experiences that stick.
We’ve worked with C-suite teams on five continents. We’ve coached people through make-or-break keynotes. And we’ve helped companies turn internal communications into competitive advantage.
Keynotes. Trainings. Coaching.
If it involves humans talking to other humans with something at stake—we make it better.
Your team already has the smarts. We help them own the room.
Fratelli Bologna (Fra-TELL-ee Bow-LOAN-ya)
Italian for "Bologna Brothers"
Fratelli Bologna" translates to "Brothers from Bologna"—and yes, it sounds just as charming in Italian as it does in your head. We started as a theater company with a flair for Commedia dell'Arte, an Italian style of theater that’s all about humor, improvisation, and audience interaction. Think of it as the original interactive entertainment, but with fewer selfies and more masks.
As our theater evolved, we created immersive, environmental shows that didn’t just entertain but truly engaged audiences. So, when businesses started asking us to bring that same dynamic energy to their conferences and programs, we thought, "Why not? Let's shake up the boardroom."
And here we are—taking everything we’ve learned in the theater and applying it to transform leadership communication, one keynote, one training, and one coaching session at a time.
What Our Clients Say
Our History
From Street Theatre to Business Theatre
Our story began by writing and performing original plays at the Northern California Renaissance Faire, specializing in Commedia dell’Arte, a style of masked, physical comedy. From there, we expanded our horizons, appearing in a major motion picture, training and performing at Disneyland, and teaching improvisation, innovation, and storytelling to leaders in Silicon Valley. We also had the privilege of speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, about the future of organizations.
While the faces on our team have changed over time, one thing has remained constant: our unwavering commitment to engaging audiences in ways that create real impact.
We’ve never followed a traditional path or looked for a role model—our mission has always been to carve out new ways of thinking and engaging. As markets, media, and leadership expectations evolve, so do we. Today, we focus on helping leaders and teams build stronger leadership, inspired teams, and a culture of creativity that drives success.
