Subject: What I'd change about my favorite Ren Faire Author: Paul (aka Sir Thomas) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:10:10 05/28/03 Wed Here's a topic for discussion. Think of your favorite Ren Faire, then think of the thing or things that make it less than perfect. What are they and what would you do to change them and make your favorite Faire even better? For example, my favorite Faire is still the one I consider home...The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. There are a number of things that have gotten better over the years, but still a few nagging problems remain. For one, Anachronisms. There are far fewer and we seem to be moving farther away from the cheap easy laugh (seeing a Ren Character in sunglasses on stage) and moving back towards the intellectual humor. I'd address this by cracking down on offenders, and giving my actors better training in taking modern items and converting them into Ren contexts. For second, FANTASY CHREATURES IN A RENAISSANCE SETTING!!!! ACK! If you want a medieval fantasy faire... great, if you want a renaissance faire...great. DON'T MIX THE TWO! I'd address this by getting rid of the trolls, pixies, and fairies once and for all! OK, your turn! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
