CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The wildly popular Carolina Renaissance Festival is holding open auditions for colorful personalities of all types to bring to life the Festival’s make-believe Village of Fairhaven.

Amateur and professional opportunities are available for actors, street performers, cosplayers, historical reenactors, musicians, singers, dancers, variety acts, and stagehands too!

Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 31 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Saturday, June 7 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the Bonnie Cone Leadership Academy located at 16115 Poplar Tent Road, Huntersville, NC 28078 (adjacent to the Festival fairgrounds). Auditionees should be age 13 or older.

Advance registration is available online at Carolina.RenFestInfo.com. Performers at the Festival engage in the art of all day play through interactive, immersive theatre. Accepted cast members are to participate in a series of free summer workshops and rehearsals that will prepare cast members on how to adapt their skills to the outdoor, renaissance theme. Sessions include costuming, period language, accent, character development, improv, and more.

Do you have a spring in your step and rhythm in your soul? New this year, the Festival seeks solo performers and/or established ensembles to perform traditional folk dancing in styles of Irish Step, Morris, Scottish Highland, and/or early English Clog.

The Carolina Renaissance Festival is a combination of outdoor theater, circus, arts and crafts fair, jousting tournament and feast, all rolled into a non-stop, daylong, outdoor family adventure!
