Studio Speranza’s focus is stage, screen and writing. My name is Romeo Ciolfi. Welcome to my website. Speranza is the Italian word for hope.
I produce works that speak about bringing hope into what appears to be a hopeless situation. From as far back as I can remember whenever I picked up a pen to write, I realized all my writings speak to this central theme.
Whether I’m staging my next play or penning another screenplay, my vision is to create work that challenges people to look at how the past has shaped, changed and damaged us and to find ways to breathe new life into the struggle of the human condition. Recognizing and repairing what is broken is where hope lives, but it is the kind of hope that does not come easily. It must be fought for as we journey forward, not in weakness but in strength.
The style and themes explored in my work are similar to modern/21 Century playwrights like Tennesse Williams, Eugene O’Neil, Arthur Miller, David LIndsa-Albaire, Tracey Letts and Samuel D. Hunter. These playwrights represent the quintessential melodrama and echo Studio Speranza’s vision.
