Performers at the festival engage in the art of all day play through interactive, immersive theatre. Accepted cast members are to participate in a series of free summer workshops and rehearsals that will prepare cast members on how to adapt their skills to the outdoor, renaissance theme. Sessions include costuming, period language, accent, character development, improv, and more.
Do you have a spring in your step and rhythm in your soul? New this year, the festival seeks solo performers and/or established ensembles to perform traditional folk dancing in styles of Irish Step, Morris, Scottish Highland, and/or early English Clog.
