No previous experience is required. Please prepare either a 30 second monologue or 16 bars of a song for this audition.

  • Nobility: People in pretty (and very heavy) costumes. Cast walks around all day in the sun and talks to patrons about politics and the price of tea. Two previous years faire experience required. Monologue about your character.

  • House of Three Sisters: The first members of cast guests meet at faire. The House runs the Royal Crusade, lost and found, Handfasting and general information. If you have never experienced Renaissance Faire before, this is a great place to start. Monologue about your character.

  • Special Events/Roaming Nobility (21+): A special subset of Nobility who help run and entertain at special events held during faire (i.e. weddings, birthday parties, etc.) You may be called upon to serve alcohol to event guests as well as other duties. When there is not an event, you are welcoming guests at the front gate. Monologue about your character.

    Guards: Cast who follow the nobility around and look like bouncers and run errands when needed and basically makes sure no one dies. They also tell a lot of jokes. Monologue, song, dance, tell bad dad joke, or move some furniture (all skills needed)

  • Noble Servants: Cast who follow the nobility around and carry ladies’ baskets and spread the latest gossip at court. They also make sure no one dies. Monologue about your character.

  • Travelers: Cast of characters who have wandered from all over Europe and have managed to set up camp in our village. They tell stories, jokes, sing songs and teach silly dances. They also roll around in the dirt a lot... Monologue, song, dance, roll around on the ground, become a chair.

  • Rose Singer: Group of singers who have scheduled performances at faire. Please prepare 16 measures of an acapella song, preferably a Renaissance Faire Style.

  • Pub Singer (18+): Looking for a mini ensemble who are able to sing or play instruments to perform several sets at the pubs. Should be mostly family friendly, pub sing style. You will need to be self directed and come up with your own song list that is not a duplicate of the Rose Singers Set.

    Fairies (18+): Fairies flit around making magic (and mischief) and entertaining the smaller patrons (and those young at heart!) This ensemble has several scheduled stage shows (including a fire show) and has a cost and time required for costumes. Please note under "Special Skills" if you have experience with fire spinning. Tell a story, or pantomime a story.

  • Mermaids & Pirates (18+): Mermaids live in our grotto and tell stories of their undersea adventures and take photos with guests. Preference will be given to those who already have their own tails. We also cast Pirate Mermaid Guards who tell stories of the sea, sing sea shanties, and protect the mermaids. Monologue about your character.

  • Wyrd Apothecary (21+, Invite/Returning Only): The Wyrd Sisters and their peculiar company tend to the village's apothecary; keeping the shire happy and healthy. Please note under "Special Skills" if you are First Aid/CPR certified.

  • Stage Crew: Crew are a core part of pulling together our site and making sure cast is well hydrated on faire days. Handy with tools is a bonus, but being able to lug around a case of water is even better. Looking for both adults & teenagers to volunteer. Your audition can just be why you want to be in the Stage Crew.
