Hello fellow corf goers maybe you can help me out here. I want to audition as a guitarist for the 09 season and was wondering what to expect from the audition process. Was it long and dragged out? How many people show up? Is it a good idea to be garbed? Do you ever get to have a day off from working the festival to be a playtron? Thanks.
It was not a long process when I went. Others may have different stories. The longest part was trying to figure out where I was going. There was one other person waiting with me, but that's how they schedule it. Check out the website starting in march now. http://www.coloradorenaissance.com/Auditions.html
You should wear your costume if you have one.
You do not get a day off of cast to be a playtron, but then we have so much fun on cast, why would you need to?

Honestly, of all the Faires I've auditioned for, CRF is the only one that says for it's audition process 'come in costume'. Which I ignored. It sounds egotistical, but I'm a wee bit more professional than that. I did however bring photos along with my theatre resume of some of the costuming I've made for other shows. None of which have ever seen the light of day in Colorado, so I don't know why they wanted to see it. So, if you feel stupid walking around the 'real world' in a costume, get some good photos of you in whatever garb you've got and bring them copies. My husband auditoned wearing his Army BDUs, and got cast without the long resume I have, so it's not all that essential.
CRF also has the most casual auditions I've ever experienced, if that makes you feel any better.
Like Tanda says, why would you want to be a platytron when cast is so much fun? I've never had the desire to be a playtron. Either I'm performing, or I'm drinking/hangingout/running around in something NOT historically accurate. Like Jeans and Tshirts (and even then, the FL cast convinced me to be a 'plant' in the audience for shows.) I don't have an in between. After performing at so many faires, the last thing I want to do when NOT working is to be working. Although, my husband and I did have far too much fun as Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones for a day at Ravenshire's Pirate Renn Faire. I don't consider that working, tho, just being dorks. :)
Don't ask for a day off. They won't cast you if you can't agree to do all 16 performance days.
Break a leg!
Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure if it was more fun to attend or to work there, but it seems the work there option won. I guess I'll try out. Huzzah everyone!
Best of luck to you!

Nononono! No! It's bad luck to wish 'good luck' for an audition or anything theatrical. You tell them to break a leg.
Sheesh. Mundanes. Don't know anything....
Might as well go chanting "MacBeth" on the grounds... after all, the whole thing is a theatre of sorts....

MacBeth I hear you calling but I can't come home right now... (KISS army, yeah!!!)
Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth.
And good luck!
What can I say, I find the best way to avoid bad luck is to laugh in its face.
As for what's more fun: playtron or cast, it all depends on your personality. I know many people who love being on cast and would never dream of doing otherwise. On the flip side, I also know several who would rather screw out their own eyeballs than be a payed employee of the festival.
If you're interested, by all means audition, and if you get in you can see if it's a good fit or not. If not, you can always go back to paying admission.
The thing for me is this...
I'd be more than interested in auditioning as long as
1.) I was court.
2.) I didn't have to work food, I refuse to work with food
3.) Do retail (I did retail for a year and a half and it's not me)
4.) Didn't have to be there every weekend as it's a long drive to Larkspurshire from Loveland, not to mention I like nice hot showers every morning in clean Private facilities.
While I am no actor in any way I have no issue with talking to people. It's just being witty and spontanius that would get me in a hitch.While I do have an idea for who I'd try to ne (Mary Tudor Henry's younger sister who married Louise XIII of France and was back in England married to Charles Brandon without Henry's permission) I just don't think I would fit in well working at faire... but I'd love to. Not to mention then Toki would be off on his own with out his lady to escourt and I'm pretty sure Toki would not audion unless he could be my personal guard now that he has his Comb Morion helmet. ANd Toki is far to shy to act. at least I have had much stage experiance playing in front of any where between 10 to 600 people (musician at one point).
2.) I didn't 'have' to work food. (I would say "get")
Ah- but you also get to work with people and you work in shade all day! And paytrons come and take your picture! ;)
4.) As long as you have flip flops, the showers aren't too bad. ;D
Hey Capn- that was 13 Macbeths... :o

And there are people like who, who really want to audition, just that in the past few years, money issues have crept up. *this year? Looks probable, just need to make that all important phone call, and find a good photo *thank god my parents insisted on being shutterbugs last season. :) *
Ya going back and forth from loveland would suck after awhile, but I live in the Springs so I'm like fifteen minutes from faire. Does anyone know if it is better to call or email or even if they have started auditions yet?

4.) yes but are they Private? Most likely NOT as most showers like that are community i.e. womens for the women and mens for the men. While I was in the military and also in high school and at public swimming pools, I hate having to share a shower. Especially with my situation i.e. very self concious um you know what I mean :-X
If I had to drive back and forth every day I'd be a NO WAY. While Camping is fine, even while camping I get to wash my hair and take a "Cowboy bath" in the wild with no one watching me... unless of course they are using a big game scope on me :)
Now if I had a camper with a shower or RV then I'd be all over it.

Yes- the showers are private- as long as you close your eyes. There have been times in the past when both genders have been present in the men's side... hmmmm...
I own a pretty big telescope- so you could be on Saturn and I'd still see ya.
The KOA that is just up the road does have private showers and either tent sites or cabins.

Yes but one must pay to use those facilities.
The showers themselves are private, complete with curtain. However, unless you pack a bathrobe or plan on getting dressed in the shower stall, that part is in a shared space. Yeah, I don't camp any more. Mostly because I generally have dogs in my care on the weekends during the summer. And I hate using portapots and showering like that, too. But I only have a 30 minute drive in, so meh. I'd rather have a good shower and sleep in a bed than sleep in 30 minutes.
As to auditions, Moldy, I'd say email and if you don't get a response within a week, call as well. Auditions don't usually start until March, but it's sometimes hard to say. It's better to get on the radar early, than wait.
I live about 50 minutes away, but it's really not so bad. Plus I have 2 or 3 other people carpooling with me so at least the gas is shared. I just wish one of them could drive too, so that I didn't have to do the driving every time...oh well. It's still worth it. ;D

Well, unfortunately for them it's me or nothing, so it's gas money or no job, haha. But on the other hand, my car gets good enough gas that I can make it there and home twice on one tank of gas. So it wouldn't be too awful bad even if I were alone.
Im not sure after working there so long I could do anything BUT be on cast. I would be very very sad if I had to go and actually pay for my ticket *gasp*
And while I may still not be official cast this year, I will at least be volunteering a couple weekends. Which is a-ok with me.
That's what's great about CoRF...if you want a year off...you can have one and jump right back into it the next. HUGE revolving door policy...its fantastic. It also doesn't hurt to be married to one of the upper "golden children" on Betty's list ;D I pretty much have free reign...its gweat.
So that totally wasn't the topic of this post was it? woopies. Um...yes, as far as auditioning...totally go for it....oh and
McBeth.
Oh, and lady delany..I know sometimes people that live close by go home to shower...maybe if you get buddy buddy with someone that lives in the springs or something...you could shower at their casa.
Psssh... Loveland? You're practically next door to Larkspurshire! :P
As far as auditions.. the first (and only audition I've ever had in my life) I went to was for the 07 season and I initially did a solo dance sans music and ended up getting cast on court. Go figure. I can't recall ever being more nervous in my life.. however, it was a really relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. There was a good mix of people in costumes and mundanes so go with what's most comfortable for you, but at the very least bring a photo of you in garb. Oh, and let your passion and enjoyment for your instrument and the faire shine. It's a lot more about having fun and bringing people into the magic than anything else.

Compared to Silverthorn? Yes it is, but a 1.5 to 2 hour drive home every night is not what I call fun, especially when it takes you through Denver... twice or 4 times in a weekend (2 down, 2 back for both days) If your lucky and you go through Denver early, it's not so bad, but I'd still almost rather pull my wisdom teeth out with a pair of tweezers.
Me sing and Dance? I think they'd lock me out even as a playton if they saw me dance or heard me sing. While I used to sing in an all original metal band, I have a very hard... and I do mean VERY hard time singing now unless you want me to do an Angela Glassgow of Arch Enemy impersonation... youtube the band, you'll get the idea.
Ummmm as much as I'd love to be a part of cast, I think I'll just keep paying and keep Toki company and keep shooting photos for magazines. Oh and being confused for the queen :)
All this talk of distance- and I'm thinking of the months and months and months... Macbeth.
I'd audition for hamster petting zoo, but alas, 'tis a hamster free faire... :'(
BTW, supposedly- if someone says "Macbeth" you have to mail them to ten people or bad luck will come your way. Louise Plimpton of Benton, Texas, said "Macbeth" and nothing bad happened. Okay, bad example, but you just watch it.

DING DING DING! We have a winner folks!
The drive from Silvy doesn't usually seem too bad since it's incredibly beautiful and the highways make it a pretty straight shot. I'd take it any day over driving through Denver more than a couple times a week.. blech!
And deLaney I hope you keep taking photos because you're an amazing photographer! Although don't be surprised if a sudden audience with the French court has you singing... *hums innocently*
Thanks for the HUGE compliment. Yeh you Nobles are ALWAYS welcome around me, it just gives me that exta apperance of being "The Queen" ;D
And if you know your history IF I did audition and they let me have the personality I want I'd be Mary Tudor aka Mary Brandon. Who was King Henry's youngest sister who he sent to France to marry King Louise XII. He died after only three months of marriage. I guess he couldn't handle a younger woman as Louise was old. After his death Charles Brandon came over to France to escourt her back. When she had left she was in love with Charles a Duke of England. Henry told her that if she got married again she could arry who she wanted. So she married Charles Brandon Henry was NOT happy about this but as he loved his sister so much, he could not be mad for long. Mary supported Katherine and hated Anne Boleyn. Charles and Mary had a daughter who married Henry Gray and their daughter was Lady Jane Grey Queen for 9 days. In Henry's will if Edward died it went to Bloody mary his daugher by Katherine, then to Elizebeth daughter of Anne and then to Mary Brandon's side.
OH and me Sing? LOT LIKELY. But once again your always welcome to be around Toki and I as much as you like as I find my French Friends... and English wonderful. Not that I speak much French except some silly famous easy French song Polly VO Francie? Mercy Bouquet! ;D
Okay, I thought Bloody Mary was a drink. Next thing you know Rob Roy isn't just a Manhattan made with scotch whiskey...
Lady D, I'm surprised no one on your list was married to their sister- like me!

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, I've been for a walk, on a winter's day...Alas, my brother is already married, but that's okay- I'm perfectly happy with my sister. :)
If you are going to be on cast then you should be a sister or a brother, or a mother or a father... a mother sister, father brother, father sister, mother brother... you should serve pizza and other people. I'm just prejudiced that way.

There could be slingshot locations around faire, though I'm pretty sure thats a lawsuit waiting to happen. Theres always that one person. ::)
One extra sling shot- for that person... ?
I meant "that one person" as the one who would get hurt and sue. The people who put a damper on all the fun stuff because they're boring.
Yes, so we have to make sure it is strong enough to launch them far far away- away from the lawers lair...
Perhaps we could employ the hamster launch for the cat astrophy?
Would they go CAT-atonic if they where launched by the Cat-apult thus causing a huge Cat-astrophy?
If a thousand cats where stacked on top of each other would that make a CAT-o=piller?
OK enough stupid puns by me :)

I think I'll audition for faire and audition to be Demetrius and work at burning the none-hair off my hairs, and eating... I mean cooking Yakitori chicken all day. Then I will go and get married to my sister :)
Well... My.... Not to be "catty" or anything... but to audition for that role, you would have to have no fear of wooden rulers with a metal edge and aerodynamic holes. :o

Well I did have a 3rd grade teacher that used to hit the top of my hands and fingers with a wooden ruler and a metal edge. Mrs Ieker was her name and I even broke one ruler one time as I pulled my hand away just before she hit it. I got double wacks with a broken ruler. And I love to fly so do I still qualify?
Alas, auditions for "yakitori guy" start August 3rd. No, really! There are, however, openings for yearo guy (next to the gyros) and sister sledge (over by wack a monk).
Balsa rulers!! Yay!! ;)
p.s. my arm hairs have grown back already- I discovered they don't burn off so easily if I stand back from the grill.
Can I be the bleckitori guy who makes people vomit? That would be an awesome job.
Just don't do it when you're near me.
One qualification to becoming the bleckitori guy is to make them eat turkey Legs and they will Bleck all over the place.
Funny I see more half eatin Turkey legs at fair than any other food. NO I'm not looking I just notice it when I toss trash in the food recycle bin :)

You are NOT supposed to eat the bone...

You could eat it if you had strong teeth like a hamster.

I live about 50 minutes away, but it's really not so bad. Plus I have 2 or 3 other people carpooling with me so at least the gas is shared. I just wish one of them could drive too, so that I didn't have to do the driving every time...oh well. It's still worth it. ;D
I'm learning how to drive!!!
And If I don't get my liscence by june, I won't have a "valid id" anymore...so. I can prolly help you on driving this year.
