Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Carolina Renaissance Festival is holding open auditions!

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 30th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Saturday, June 6th 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.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! New this year, the Festival seeks a bold, fearless, and charismatic character to embody the role of the Village Town Crier! Part herald, part satirist, part ringmaster… with trusty bell ringing and giant scroll unfurled, the Village Town Crier delivers absurd and satirical “news of the realm” in a booming voice that stops all those passing by in their tracks.

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!

The Carolina Renaissance Festival returns for its 33rd annual season on Saturdays and Sundays, October 3rd through November 22nd on a 250-acre farm located just minutes north of Charlotte, between Concord and Huntersville, at the junction of NC 73 and Poplar Tent Road. Tickets are now date specific and available for purchase only online starting July 1st at Carolina.RenFestInfo.com.
