Well, it's here again. Ye Merrie Greenwood Renaissance Faire season has begun. The first Staff meeting was held and projects and new presentations for the Faire have been outlined. This month we will meet again to firm up the plans and then it's off to the races!
If you are interested in joining in the fun this year please contact me from this web page. Our rehearsals start on March 6 at 9:30 AM. They are held at the Benton PUD.
The first rehearsal is really a misnomer. We really don't rehearse or audition anyone. We start out our Season with a set of performances from each of the groups. Musicians, Dancers, Singers, Storytellers, Swashbucklers and Scots all get time to show off. What they are doing is recruiting for new members. This is a great deal of fun for the new folks and the seasoned Greenwood Players.
It's also a great time for folks to get together after being apart since the end of last year's Faire. They get to re-connect with their friends and swap stories. We used to hold a get acquainted parties on that first rehearsal evening. Since so many folks went out and had their own get together parties that evening we just made sure that the new folks were invited out too.
Then I get to give the usual explanation of Greenwood Players is. (not are, really) This year we have a couple of important choices to make. Will we bring back the Chess Game, will we tour? We will have a sign up sheet available for both questions. Some folks have already let me know that they are ready, willing, and able to do both.
Greenwood Faire now has a Facebook page. Look us up and become a fan! I promise to send out messages to the fans about important things. I am also uploading loads of photos from the Faires marked by year and annotated. Be sure to let me know what you think. If you are a Facebook user and have photos of Greenwood Faire you can share them there too.
That's about all the news just now.
Type at you again soon
