Mutton and Mead-Western MA

[Out_of_the_Ashes]

The Mutton and Mead Medieval Festival in Montague, MA was a great surprise to return home to last summer. Let me preface this by saying that I am in no way affiliated or represent the faire in any way other than a patron. It was only a one day faire in its inaugural year in 2011, but this season it will run for an entire weekend, June 23 and 24, from 10 AM to 6 PM. VERY family friendly: the food vendors are reasonable and there are plenty of FREE little games for the whole family to play. There is a beautiful little pine-shaded glen with logs to sit on, as well as a large covered pavilion to take shelter in from the sun. The cast is very friendly and shows a great interest and pride in their faire. If you have time to visit, I highly recommend it!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mutton and Mead Medieval Festival seeks Actors, Singers, Musicians and other performers for AUDITIONS from January 21, 22, & 23.

Mutton & Mead is a Robin Hood-themed theatrical event and festival held in Montague, MA, at the Millers Falls R&G Club on June 23rd & 24th, 2012. We will create a medieval shire (Nottingham)  & Tavern (The Mutton & Mead Inne), populate it with characters (our Shire Cast), and then tell the exciting tale of Robin Hood through stage and street performances over the course of a day filled with great shopping, great food and great fun!  There will be an Armored Joust, a variety of Stage & Street Shows, Historical & Artisan Demonstrations as well as games and activities for all ages.

Mutton and Mead is in search of actors, singers, musicians and dancers both novice and professional to help us bring the streets of our humble but entertaining village alive!  Interested in auditioning for our Shire Cast or performing at Mutton & Mead?  Visit www.MuttonAndMead.com for details.

Not looking for a major role, or maybe you're just interested in singing with us?  We are also seeking "extras." These performers play a less involved role as the day unfolds, but an important role nonetheless.  Regardless of the size of your part, we provide training to give you the skills to rock the shire on festival day.

Not a performer, but interested in helping our village come alive?  Mutton and Mead is also seeking Theater, Stage and Set Crews as well as other Volunteers.  You will be joining a lively community of imaginative people, committed to creating a unique event. 

Have questions about any of the above, or ready to sign up? Please visit our website at www.MuttonAndMead.com

Directions:  Scheduled Auditions will be held at the Montague Grange hall, 36 Main Street in Montague Center (on the town common),  between Saturday, January 21st through Monday, January 23rd.
