Texas Renaissance Festival needs your help ramping up for 40th year with weekend auditions
MAGNOLIA -- The Texas Renaissance Festival is holding auditions next weekend to find the performers that will bring life to the festival's 40th year in business.
Entertainment producer Jeff Baldwin is inviting actors to the sprawling park in Todd Mission to try out on May 3 and May 10. Character actors come in all ages and every position is paid, Baldwin said. Most spend the weekends camping with other performers too.
"We're holding auditions for specialty acts, which are what you would see on a gazebo or a stage and we're also looking for street actors that will interact and improvise with patrons throughout the park," Baldwin said Friday. He said he will see as many as 200 auditions, depending on the year.
Baldwin said acts from around the country specifically pursue the Texas festival, so it's not so hard to find them.
