2024 Cast List
Congratulations and welcome to the Cast of the 2024 Kansas City Renaissance Festival!
We are incredibly proud of our auditioners, and how difficult you made our final selections! You all truly did a fantastic job! We are so excited to perform alongside you this season, and cannot wait to see all you bring to our festival, no matter how big your role!
Now that we have our lively and colourful cast, it’s time to start preparing! It will take every one of us to put on an amazing show! Remember, we are here to create an entire 16th-century village for our friends, families, and honoured guests to enjoy and play in! It will take a lot of work, but it will also be an incredible experience. Watch that calendar for all the Promos, Trainings, and Social Events!
If you don’t see your name or have any other questions or concerns about potential typos, omissions, or mistakes, please reach out via email at [email protected] . We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have and will get any corrections made as soon as possible.
Once again, congratulations to each and every one of you! Keep an eye out for communications from me and your Team Leads as we move forward…and we will see you in the lanes!
