NY Ren Faire (New management since I worked there) - Character Performer Renaissance Entertainment Productions Employee Review

A fun place to work and get entertainment experience in a period fashion.

Pay is either non existent or very limited. I got lucky enough to be a paid cast, but not all casts are paid.

Since 2010 I was employed by REP in some capacity; performer, site deco, director, teacher, and crew. Overall, I would say the amount of knowledge I gleaned from this company was incomparable. I learned about history, street performance, songwriting, audience interaction techniques, how to direct, sewing, and so much more. I would highly recommend working with this company, should the opportunity arise. Definitely a place where one can grow as an entertainer and employee.

It required traveling across the country from LA to New York every year, which was costly and exhausting. The pay was decent, but not commensurate with what I feel my worth is.
