Renaissance Faire invites actors to audition

The gates will open. The trumpets will sound. History will come to life. The Connecticut Renaissance Faire is pleased to announce auditions for their 20th-annual season taking place by appointment at the Faire’s Rehearsal Center at 64 Mill St., Southbridge, Mass. (2nd Floor) on July 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Connecticut Renaissance Faire is an “enchanted recreation” of a 16th-century harvest fair complete with jousting knights, armored combat, live music, falconry, archery demonstrations, period dancing, stage performances, comedy, and continuous themed entertainment throughout the day, according to a release.

Selected candidates will receive four weekends of tuition-free theater training in various areas as required by their role. The Connecticut Renaissance Faire will provide seven consecutive weekends of performance experience, plus Labor Day and Columbus Day, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 14. There are paid and unpaid roles available.
