Village Renaissance Players
The Village Renaissance Faire's very own performance troupe!
 
The Village Renaissance Players is an improv renaissance acting troupe that interacts with faire goers to bring them into the story, suspend disbelief, and embrace the experience!
 
For 2010:
 
SHOWS & SCHEDULE
 

The Princess Bride: The improv version. No scripts, no memorization, no props (well, maybe just a few). How would it be if Inigo was secretly in love with Buttercup himself? What if Vizzini was really an idiot and Fezzik was the smart one? What if Inigo had beaten Westley at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity? Let’s find out! Come and join the fun at our stage and be a part of the story. The adventure! The intrigue! The silliness! Watch the story unfold throughout the day!

Crime and Punishment: Our pillory sits empty. Who should we put in it? What crime did you commit? And what should your punishment be? Come and find out at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. as the Justice of the Peace, his Constable and “The Watch” accuse you of a heinous crime, lock you up, and throw away the key!

Zorg the Mighty Dragon: A tale for the wee folk, this is a story of the small village of Wrights who was terrorized by the evil dragon Zorg. The villagers seek a champion to defend themselves from this mighty terror! Meanwhile, the sweet farm girl, Miranda, has befriended the dragon himself and learns his real cause of concern.... Village Players will interact with fairegoers throughout the day as the story develops. Join us at 4 p.m. on our stage to learn the truth!
