2005 Kansas City Renaissance Festival Cast List

2005 Kansas City
Renaissance Festival Cast List

This is our 2005 cast list. I've left it up so you can get an idea of what areas there are for performers at our festival. It takes a lot of people to keep our fair going each year -

Street characters - these are the performers who walk the streets of Canterbury. The interact with the audience one and one. They're the backbone of our fair and it's a lot of fun!
Scenario - this is our 'storyline.' These performers have specific scripted scenes that they are involved in which may or may not include fights. These performers are also expected to hit the streets of Canterbury in between scenes and interact with the visitors.
The Enchanted Realm - the fairies will have scheduled appearances throughout the festival day.
Royal Court - these are our 'royals.' They're quite literally the best-dressed people in the village, representatives of the court of whatever monarch we are portraying at the time. The costume requirements are huge, so this is not a responsibility to be taken on lightly. While these characters do have specific duties during the day, they also walk the streets of Canterbury and interact with the visitors to our village.
Dancers - we do have a dance troupe at the fair that performs at the front gate. This is a high energy group and need people who can keep going hour after hour. They are also expected to interact with the visitors.
Stage shows and musicians - the entertainment director is always looking for new stage shows and musicians to fill the stages and entertain our visitors. The last thing he needs now is fight shows, so don't propose any new ones.
