What's up with TWIG?

[FaeGuardian]

The Scarborough website has Twig listed as Lane Entertainment, but if you click the link and go to her website there is a big gap in her schedule where Scarborough would normally be.

Is it possible that with less than 4 months to go they have not booked Twig to return?

Sure I like all the other acts who are returning, but it's hard to imagine Scarborough without Twig.

You'll notice that Twig's schedule on her site is partially 2011 and partially 2012, and not complete in either case. 

It's difficult to tell how much, if any, of Scarborough's entertainment schedule has been updated for 2012. If you look at the Limited Engagement, those are 2011 performance dates.

What I've seen in the past at many faire and performer websites, the schedules don't get updated until shortly before the faire opens. Scarborough has yet to hold auditions for their lane performers, coming up Jan 21. The juries for artisans is in February, so there are still a lot of things up in the air. It seems that last year Berit would announce here as contracts were returned for performers, and that was happening around February.

That's a relief, kinda. Maybe it will change by then.

Alas, Berit has moved to another state... but I am sure some of us may be able to find out.  I'm hoping to know more about some scheduling soon, if I can find out anything and get someone in a position of authority to approve or post, I will!  Coy has been known to post here as well!

Well. I hate to hear that Berit has moved on. He'd been around for a number of years. I hope all is well with him.

I don't know much about it, but I seem to remember Twig posting something on facebook about having her fans let Scarby know that they want her back for this season.

A Twig-less Scarby would be.... just sad.

Twig is currently on the website, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Berit had an excellent opportunity come along and he took it.  Everyone in the Scarby family misses him and wishes him well.  He is quite happy where he is now, and we're all very glad for him.

Twig did post asking for support on her FB page. Go to the Scarby FB page and let them know it just wouldn't be right without her!

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Danielle Guinn. I am the new Director of Sales and Marketing for Scarborough Renaissance Festival! "Berit" was wonderful and we are very excited for the new endeavor he has embarked upon. I will do my absolute best to maintain his legacy here. I admire your loyalty to him and to our festival and hope in the future I can build the same relationships with you as he did.

In regards to Twig, I will be updating the website with performers and entertainment in February, so please stay tuned! In the meantime...I wish you all magic and merriment!

Welcome to the forums Danielle!
(you didn't say if she would be back or not though, inquiring minds want to know!)

*and a Rum toast to you for continuing the legacy of management types who truly do listen!*

According to TWIG.... straight from the fairy's mouth... she does not have an agreement with Scarby as of yet... but they are working on it.
Please go to http://www.facebook.com/SRFestival?sk=wall to express your support.

SRFestival facebook deletes any post about Twig....just sad
