Renaissance Festival Auditions!
Let’s Make History!

Auditionees are to register in advance
using the form linked at the bottom of this page. 

The wildly popular Carolina Renaissance Festival is holding open auditions for colorful personalities of all types to bring to life the Festival’s make-believe Village of Fairhaven. Amateur and professional opportunities are available for actors, street performers, cosplayers, historical reenactors, musicians, singers, dancers, variety acts, and stagehands too!  Auditionees should be age 13 or older.

New this year, the Festival seeks charismatic stars to dazzle audiences as a Royal Princess. Interested auditionees should be adults ages 24 to 30. Additional qualifications apply.

Auditions will be held on Saturday, June 15 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Saturday, June 22 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at:

The Bonnie Cone Leadership Academy
16115 Poplar Tent Road
Huntersville, NC 28078
(Adjacent to the RenFest fairgrounds).

Performers at the Festival engage in the art of all day play through interactive, immersive theatre.  Accepted cast members are to participate in a series of FREE summer workshops and rehearsals that will prepare cast members on how to adapt their skills to the outdoor, renaissance theme. Sessions include classes on costuming, period language, accent, character development, improv, and more.

The Carolina Renaissance Festival is a combination of outdoor theater, circus, arts and crafts fair, jousting tournament and feast, all rolled into a non-stop, daylong, outdoor family adventure!

The annual Carolina Renaissance Festival returns Saturdays and Sundays, October 5th through November 24th.
