Entertainers and Stage List & Schedule

2008 Schedule	Ensemble	Wandering Characters and Villagers
List of Entertainers	Ensemble	Would you like to join us?

For those of you who have never come to a renfest we would like to introduce you to the different kinds of performers and entertainment that exist at these events and theme parks.

The Ensemble AKA Storyline characters: At the renfest, in the morning, a story starts at the main gates and continues on and off during the day. It weaves through areas of the renfest itself and usually wraps up at the pubsing or finale. You can follow these characters or simply stumble on them, either way they start the story the next day so, if you missed a piece, you can come back again and try once more. Note: Pub sing. Between now and the day before the event we will be providing a page with the words to the songs at the pubsing. If you are concerned about the words and/or would like to sing along please check on the page before attending.

Wandering Performers/Village people: We are the Village of Steller's Grove and therefore have village folk. Wandering characters like the village fool,. wenches, monk/nun, pub master, squires, a lord and lady, smiths, etc. wander the property during the day. You can talk to them, say hello to them and take pictures with them. These folks have welcomed you into their village for the day and expect you to be merry. Vendors also tend to get into the atmosphere by dressing up as well. After all they are Merchants of the village.

Stage Performers: With four stages there are plenty of opportunities to provide scheduled stage performances for the masses. Hosting performances like comedy, music, jugglers, dancers, magic, etc... these stages give you the opportunity to set up your day productively and get the most for your entry. They are divided in two. The stages on one half of the property are child friendly which means that the shows we put on those stages are definitely friendly to the young ones. The other two stages will host a number of shows but are not guaranteed to be child friendly so check the schedule before planning to attend those shows as they may not be what you want for your child. If you wonder what 'non-child' friendly is...We ask performers to provide for us a target audience for their show. If they feel that their own show is not child friendly then we pass that advice onto you and let you decide for yourself.

Remember:

All of our performers are volunteers. We are providing a 'sales and promo' tent for them to sell CDs and other items related to their performance (example: T-Shirts, Magicians who sell magic kits, etc...) as well as leave out promo material for you to pick up at the end of the day so please, after you see that show you think is wonderful, pick up a flyer, pamphlet or purchase a CD.

Note: Schedule subject to change. Additional Performers may be added to the days but are not on the schedule.

WARNING!!!We have been made aware of a person who is claiming to be part of our organization.This person is handing out contact info that is not ours then not returning calls, notes or emails, leaving many good, talented people in the lurch and with horrid impressions of us.Members of our immediate group can be found through the addresses on this web site. IF you have been ignored or misled please contact us. Please pass this information onto anyone you think may have been lied to. We have our suspicions as to who this is and why this person is doing this (we told one person that they couldn't do a particular thing at our event and they didn't take it very well) but we have no idea who this person has misled or who they have talked to. We also have figured out by now that this person has used a number of names in order to accomplish their task of creating havoc.Thank you.
