The amphitheater at the Sac and Fox Nation Casino will hold the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of Renaissance England 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9 and it hosts the Heartland Renaissance Faire.
The event, free to the public, is being produced by Faire a la Carte. The event will run 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day at the amphitheater, 42008 Westech Road in Shawnee.
“Heartland Renaissance Faire will be the first event of its kind in this part of Oklahoma,” said Susi Matthews Cannon, who portrays Queen Elizabeth I. “We are excited to work with the Sac and Fox Nation Casino to produce a fun, family friendly event that is also educational.”
Faire a la Carte was founded by Susi Matthews Cannon and Becky Grotts. The company is a traveling Renaissance road show, available to put on “out-of-the-box” Renaissance fairs for organizations around the country. It is designed to bring a soft-format faire (tents and portable stages) to any location that contracts, complete with court and street players, stage acts and vendors.
Together, the co-owners have more than 50 years’ experience in Renaissance fairs around the country.
Reenactment groups including Brotherhood of Steele, Five Rings Fencing and Tulsa School of Defense will demonstrate weaponry and fighting techniques. Royal Gauntlet Birds of Prey will offer a display of raptors while educating about the birds and ecology.
Noble Cause will present a mounted joust, and the Lord Mayor’s Company will perform Shakespeare with a comedic twist.
Queen’s Gambit, Capt’n Black’s Sea Dogges and Fearna will provide music.
Other stage acts will include Pickled Brothers Sideshow, The Royal Bard Kerridwyn, Cut Thrust and Run and Seymoure the Sage.
The event will include dancing, a parade and a children’s knighting ceremony each day. The young and the young at heart may be dubbed a knight or a lady in waiting by the queen.
“The lanes will be filled with villagers and vendors, so come early, bring your camera and plan to spend the day,” Matthews Cannon said.
