Scarborough Renaissance FestivalR is seeking performers who enjoy improvisation, interact well with people and enjoy being entertaining. Bi-lingual abilities are a plus.

No improvisational acting experience is required and actors of all ages are welcome. Headshots are required.
Characters for the 2019 season of Scarborough Renaissance FestivalR will be grounded in history and created to best suit the needs of the cast and performers.
