i Sebastiani, the self-proclaimed " Greatest Commedia dell ' Arte Troupe in the Entire World ," was founded as a theatrical off-shoot of the Society for Creative Anachronism ( SCA ), on June 4, 1990 at 7: 45 PM by Jeff Hatalsky, who was also known within the SCA as Sebastian.

The troupe's name translates as " we who are Sebastian's.
