Before the Nor'easter hit, I was tickled to spend an afternoon at my favorite place on the planet. Aglow with rustling leaves, the Maryland Renaissance Festival site was mine to tromp through, without the responsibility of performance. A light, damp breeze and a heavy hand with the glycerine made giant bubbles gyrate into fantastical, cosmic shapes, and the sun shone them up real pretty. My children chased the bubbles across the parking lot, and I didn't yell at them to come back.
After sucking in atmosphere until hyperventilation seemed a real possibility, I visited the staff in the office. Carolyn Spedden, Artistic Director, said Yes, she's always looking, and No, it's not too late to get in. If you're good. The Festival will run weekends August 23 through October 19, 2003, including Labor Day Monday, and Carolyn generally contracts in early 2003, finishing sometime in March. The Maryland Fair is the second largest in the country, so standards are very high, but for the few who dare, it's a delightful performance venue.
