Description
Renaissance Couple is from Renaissance Faire, Irwindale, California
In addition to the staged performances, a major attraction of Renaissance fairs is the crowds of actors both professional and amateur who play historical figures and roam the fair, interacting with visitors. Visitors are encouraged to wear costumes, contributing to the illusion of an actual Renaissance environment. Some allow weapons that are suitably peace-bonded, others only allow fair employees to wear them. Many of the fair vendors sell or rent costumes for all ages and types. The Renaissance fair subculture is word for these costumed guests is playtrons, a portmanteau of the words patron and player, and they add a second level of enjoyment to their experience by getting into the act as Renaissance Lords and Ladies, peasants, pirates, belly dancers, or fantasy characters. However, many renaissance fairs discourage interaction between the official cast and so-called playtrons.
