The royal wedding is less than 60 days away, and though Meghan Markle has her own Nantucket roots, there’s a chance for even more Massachusetts hopefuls to get a shot at the crown.
King Richard’s Faire, New England’s largest and longest-running Renaissance festival, announced the dates of its spring auditions in Boston. On April 21 and April 22, would-be princesses, villagers, and innkeepers will have their shot at joining the iconic production. The casting call takes place at the Boston Center for the Arts, and organizers said in a press release that they’re looking for actors, musicians, and technical staff.
Since its founding in 1982, the Carver, Massachusetts, fair has brought a 16th-century marketplace to life, complete with jousting knights, jugglers, and crafts galore. This year’s fair runs every weekend from September 1 through October 21.
