DONÕT HAVE A HOME TO CALL YOUR OWN?
Reenactment Guilds or Troupes that do not have a Guildyard are very welcome to play in the streets and interact with the Public as Street Characters. ÒMixedÓ characters are fine. Please request a Performing Arts application.
A WORD ABOUT WEAPONS & SHARP POINTY THINGS
Guilds wishing to exhibit or give weapons demonstrations may do so only within the confines of their Guildyard. No member of the Public may be inside the Guildyard fence during such activity. Shrewsbury Fight Director may review activities either before or during Faire.
Guildmembers wishing to draw steel for street gigs, stage shows, or other exhibits outside their Guildyard must first obtain approval from the Shrewsbury Fight Director. Auditions, either live or on tape, may be required, and should be obtained well in advance of Faire.
NOTE: Fighters auditioning for the ÒPryze FytesÓ must be approved by June 1st. For a description of Presentation Combat Standards, please see ÒThe Shrewsbury Combatants HandbokeÓ.
CLEAN AND TIDY
