• Treatment of Actors

  • Wandering actors will be available for interaction within the Renaissance Faire boundaries.

Please feel free to interact with them, but keep in mind the following:

• Do not, under any circumstances, touch the actors.

• Please be mindful of their time: if there are others waiting to interact, limit your conversation to a minute or two and come back later.

• If you see someone you know is an actor but who is NOT wearing a sash, they are on break. Please respect their break time and give them space.
