Additional Information

A quick look at a rehearsal offers a hint of what’s coming: a man sits tuning a lute while two people juggle. Behind them, a contortionist is stretching to prepare for her bit. A woman dressed as a milk maid calls the cast into order and the entire crew bursts into activity. Song, dance, comedy-all flow into panoply of excitement. The Merely Players of Upstate New York are all ready to conquer Inlet’s Adirondack Renaissance and Fantasy Festival, in Fern Park Saturday, July 11, and Sunday July 12.

The Merely Players are just part of the fun to be expected in this free-admission event. So far, the Renaissance Group Arethusa (who are known to play over 40 different instruments in a set) are booked to perform, and the lovely and thrilling fire-eating act Admo Ignis is confirmed, Shakespeare himself, Gypsies, pirates, fairies, belly dancers, puppeteers. Dragons and dueling knights will be part of the excitement.

Expect Fern Park to be transformed into a place of wonder and merriment as beautiful music fills the air and Lords and Ladies pass by following the Goodly Queen. If you bow properly you may even get knighted! Expect to be surrounded by excitement at all times!
