Entertainment schedule

[moose]

Does anyone know when the entertainment schedule for the 2011 season will be posted on the faire website?  When I e-mail them, the e-mail bounces back to me undelivered. My e-mail is jj5099@aol.com. Thank you.

Hi Moose,
  Is there a certain act at Sterling that you were interested in seeing ? I know quite a few of the acts from last season will be returning for  this  season.

Nope - I want the whole grid listing as usual.

A lot of times the schedule isn't set until a week or so before opening....they've only been in rehearsals a week

I did "talk" to Barby Holder the other day, and sadly, she informed me that she wasn't returning because of the "budget". One my friends and favorite performers will not be there this season - what a shame.

Hello every one sorry for not checking in sooner. Its been every busy off season. As you can all understand I hope, Sterling has struggled with the economy along with every one else. In an effort to keep things moving and to attract old customers back occasionally and to keep the show fresh for our steady customers Sterling will be mixing things up each year by bringing in some new entertainment for full and partial runs each year. At the same time keeping 90% of the same acts we all know and love there will be an annual rotation and most of the acts may be asked occasionally to take a partial or full sabbatical. This will be healthy for the entertainer and the festival but most importantly healthy for the general customer base. I want you all to know that I consider all of the entertainers and all of you my good friends and I hope you will understand when we need to work in this rotation strategy. (ALL!) will be returning in the future. I will miss them as much as anyone. Thanks for understanding. DW

In perusing the entertainers lineup, I also noticed that Zoltan the Adquate is not returing this year, and also another season without Paolo Garbanzo, and Manolete! What's up with that???

well, Sir Douglas.....I surely understand your reasoning behind the entertainment schedule. It is good to get a new 'taste', so the Patron, does not have that 'staleness', at faire.
I know I said wth, lol, but I am glad you took the time to explain.
See you, soon!
