Stage Acts

Bess & Marley – Lady Bess, a runaway aristocrat, has enlisted the help of ragtag traveling bard Marley to become a musical sensation! When the rest of their 12-piece band fails to appear for their debut concert, Bess & Marley must band together (pun intended) to save the day. Mayhem and hilarity ensue, including folk songs emphasizing strong vocals, tight harmonies, and comedy!

Norsefyre – Travelling circus troupe. Fire and aerial show.

Pyrate Merlyn’s Magik – Our magical Captain is sure to amaze!

Scenery Changes – Improv comedy duo that specializes in performing family-friendly shows. For over 10 years, our signature short-form improv has entertained crowds of all ages. We create comedy on the spot and let our audience write the show. Each performance is a unique moment in history as it has never been done before, and will never be done exactly the same way again.
- Wanting to audition? Inquire within.
Activities

Axed in Time – Knife and axe tossing. Or, for landlubbers, “making metal things bounce off a wall.”

Legendary Carousels – Ride a hand-carved carousel.
