Greetings to all who have held on to the hope that we would update this page some day!
Recent events in the faire community have reminded us of how precious our time is on this Earth and how we should treasure those who have made our lives even slightly better. So let us start off this update by thanking all those who have shown their support for the LMC in all the various venues we have performed. We ask those planning on visiting us this season to take extra care in their travels so they may be reading from this website for many more years to come.
As to the 2009 season, we will be performing all five weekends of the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival at the Castle in Muskogee. That’s from the first weekend in May to the last one, just beyond Memorial Day. It will be a longer run for that faire but don’t let the time slip away thinking you have so much more time. It’s only an additional two days and putting off till the last moment may have you cursing yourselves in June for missing it.
What will be new for this year’s LMC run in Muskogee? Well, we are currently in rehearsals on the promised revisit of the Scottish Play. While we like where we started this year, new bits are being added or discovered weekly and we hope that the laughter outweighs the tragedy ;-) Added to the show is the LMC sword fighting debut of Beatrice. Her practice with her sword is evidenced by my new leather doublet, now slashed in the front...so be sure to come and see the Fencing Fashionista! In addition, Robio and Marionet, the new show that premiered at the Shawnee Oklahoma Faire in November of last year will be joining the Muskogee lineup, getting a playing at least once every day (provided our singing voices hold up). All this and the return of Appashionota von Cleavage (or Notty) to the LMC stage to take the place of Kate Denby, her sister, who has been called away on various matters that she will not speak of (though a Shrew Seminar is not out of realm of possibility).
And recent talks between Notty and the PTB of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival are seemingly favorable to a return of the LMC as Smoker Hosts for the 2009 season.
So, that’s what we have so far on our festival season. Travel safely where you go, thanks for your support and we hope to see you all (with friends and family) in 2009 at LMC shows. To quote Alistair once again (because he loves being quoted), “We love you all! Or as much as the Law will allow.”
