SAPA (Scarborough Academy for Performing Arts) 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.
In Honor of Their Majesties, King Henry VIII and Queen Margaret of Scotland & the Isles, members of the Performing Company are wearing a medallion bearing the symbol of the season.
This medallion will allow you, our guests, to distinguish the performers from the visitors.
