SAPA (Scarborough Academy of Performing Arts) is Scarborough’s non-profit performing company that trains the actors that portray our Royal Court, Villagers, and Peasants. They go through 8 Saturdays and Sundays of classes prior to Scarborough Renaissance Festival’s opening and then entertain our guests for another 8 weekends of the festival. Many of the performers also do programs for schools, libraries, and other organizations year around.
Auditions for the 2023 Season will be announced soon.
Performers at the Festival wear a medallion bearing the symbol of the season. This medallion will allow you, our guests, to distinguish the performers from the visitors.
