The First Rehearsal a Success!

Wow, what a great turn out and rehearsal we had on Saturday!

The Swashbucklers buckled their swash, the Storytellers told stories, the English Country Dancers laughed a lot, the Musicians were perfect and the Madrigals, well you should have been there. The Gypsie Dancers and Gypsie Musicians were fun. The Gypsies had folks come out and join them dance as well as dancing 3 dances under the guise of "rehearsing".

Each of the Performing Groups gave a quick presentation of what their groups do. Even the newest group of Street Performers showed us some great acting. There is a plan in the works to revive the Monks of St. Polly Esther. This would be really great fun
!

There is another rehearsal scheduled for this next Saturday. It will be a "Costume Swap" when Greenwood Folks can trade their old costume parts for someone else's old costume parts, making a "new" costume from them for them. I know, it sounds a bit confusing trying to explain it, but really it's much easier to do than say. I have a few boxes of items that I intend to bring.

It looks like this will be a great season, and a great Faire. I hope that some of our readers who have emailed us but never got around to attending a rehearsal will come out and play this year. We will continue to accept new folks until after the April 11th. rehearsal.

That's the news so far.
