Paid Performers Needed for Huzzah!" Show

Sober, practical, sharp as hell. The Liz Lemon of the Kingsbridge Faire. Has kept her distance from her dad’s Faire for years by running the Faire's payroll and taxes from her real-world job in insurance; but agrees to return to save her fuzzy-headed father’s life’s work, because beneath her dry and skeptical armor she aches to sing and swing a sword and believe in fantasies again.

The perfect knight. A true believer and Faire lifer. Lives every day as a knight of the Tudor court. Never gives his real name; must be paid in gold. Despises all technology. Lives in a tent he calls his “pavilion.” Unparalleled at swordsmanship, jousting, melee, gallantry, seducing, and ugly rabble-rousing demagoguery. Hates modernity and longs to remake the world as his personal kingdom (or game preserve).

Gwen’s younger sister. Romantic and impulsive but could never actually live in the past without WiFi. Has always been a princess of the Faire but has never had any real power. Is seen as flaky and dreamy in contrast to Gwen, but later is revealed to have taken on a lot of responsibility with no credit. Fears she’s the “Fredo,” but genuinely dedicated to this magical place. Loves and envies her sister. Holds grudges. No filter. Belt to E or higher.

Gwen’s childhood best friend. Now a local lawyer representing the Mirandola family and their Faire. Carries torch for Gwen since they kissed at the age of 15, right before Gwen fled. More amiable than ambitious; prone to taking directions but a decent guy. Wants to be a hero. Baritone/tenor, belt to G if preferable w/ lyrical tone too.

Creator and owner of the Kingsbridge Faire. An enthusiastic and extravagant dreamer with terrible follow through and no organizational skills. For decades he’s relied on his family -- first his wife, then his daughters -- to clean up his messes. Comes across as robust, jolly and authoritative but hides a secret. Bass/baritone, belt to high F# preferable.

Pirate Queen. A co-founder of the Faire. Runs the R-rated, family-unfriendly Pirate District, the sketchiest, raunchiest and most profitable part of the Faire. Unflappable, rocking a dominatrix vibe and teaches middle school in real life. Darkly amused feminist, regal, unapologetically sexual, and unafraid of trouble, she's loyal and principled and has a no-tolerance policy for bullies. Iron-lunged belt to high F preferable.

But magical -- if younger, should be weathered. If older, made of iron. Either way, a former warrior who has lost none of his power or skill. An enigmatic (and possibly ageless) blacksmith. Speaks in quiet, cryptic phrases. Everyone thinks he’s a nut, who came back from Iraq a bit touched in the head. Makes beautiful swords, some of which may be magic. Bass/baritone, belt to high F.

A designer of gorgeous medieval gowns; the first (and best) crafter at this Faire. Rightly proud of her talent. Strongly countercultural, intersectional feminist and politically aware. Funny and cranky; a granola Melissa McCarthy; a younger, female Bernie Sanders. Brave as hell: she chose this life when it was unthinkable and is ready to fight for it.

A med school graduate and trained nurse practitioner; serves as both the Faire’s medic and the local herbalist. A crafter and not a performer, so she doesn’t bother to put on the Faire’s fake-English accent. Down to earth and sensible. Has a recurring affair thing with Morningwood. Mezzo.

A flower seller / pixie who wanders the fair looking (and acting) like a Dr. Seuss-type fairy, selling roses. Saucy. Flirty. But not above giving her enemies a saucy finger. Also Ensemble, playing several roles including: Ladies of the court, fortune tellers, pirates, Morris dancers, musicians, puppeteers, Faire customers. Strong belt.

A sexy warrior. Ensemble, playing several roles including: Ladies of the court, fortune tellers, pirates, Morris dancers, musicians, puppeteers, Faire customers. Strong belt.

A cosplay werewolf girl. Sometimes wears sci-fi cosplay instead. May play Boba Fett. Also Ensemble, playing several roles including: Ladies of the court, fortune tellers, pirates, Morris dancers, musicians, puppeteers, Faire customers. Strong belt.

Ensemble (Morris Dancer, Police Officer, Roland’s Henchman) Also playing several roles including: Pirate servants to the Pirate Queen; human chess pieces; thief in the stocks; turkey leg hawkers; jousters; musicians, puppeteers, Faire customers. Tenor.
