Who has signed contracts for 2008

[Professor M]

Kilted One and I have been hired as the Middle-class Innkeeper and Seamstress. 

You will both be wonderful additions to the street cast.  Don't worry about the scripted role you didn't get.  I think you'll be perfect right where you are.  And Kilted One, though he wasn't (kilted, that is), had some great stage presence in his new garb.  What a first rate inn-keeper he must be!  We are really going to give the public a memorable event this year.

[Countess Westmorland]

Well said, Professor!
If our last rehearsal was any indication of how well we will be working together, it will be a great season.  Watch for several new characters and a surprise or two!  I am so excited for opening cannon I can't wait!  Last year was a getting to know you time.  This year there is a closeness and camraderie I haven't experienced in other things I have been involved in.  The enthusiasm and energy is there, all we need are the crowds!

[Amelia]

Hello all!!
I be Amelia Quackston, the Apprentice Keeper of the Ducks.  And, as of just a few days ago, I'll be joining all of you as a lane act on the streets of the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival!!  Myself and my "practice" ducks will be hanging about, entertaining folks with jests, songs, games and stories, all told with a "ducky" twist.  So, come, interact, listen to my tale of woe upon becoming the Apprentice Keeper, play a game of getting your ducks in a row, share a joke or two, and meet Edward and hear his favorite song!!    To learn more about Amelia, you can find me on MySpace:

Welcome, Amelia!  I cannot wait to meet you and Edward.  He lookes to be such a handsome fellow.

It would be nice if you could teach me to keep all my ducks in a row.  It is a talent I simply don't have!

Yes, but I am still the sweet person I always was!!!   

Our King had mentioned several weeks ago that he wanted to have a Margaret on cast.  Yesterday at rehearsal he asked me if I would be interested in the part.  I am delighted beyond words!  Spent the morning shopping for a crown as per his majesty's orders.  It is going to be a fun season!  ANd just wait until everyone sees the new buildings and the new vendors!
