The faire is in DOWNTOWN Springfield and is a fantastic opportunity. Other faires and shows that have taken place  in this exact same location have made killings!

Auditions for Barataria Faire are Saturday Jan 30th and we are after Fairies! Barataria Faire is an exciting new Pirate and Fairy themed Faire that will be held August 7 -8  in Springfield, Mo.

There are still roles available as general cast, you can find the list here. You are also free to make up your own character and audition with them, but we NEED the roles on the cast page filled. Auditions are necessary for cast members.

Also if you want to make up a fairy that is not "traditional" like a Steampunk Fae or the like,  feel free. We're not restricting our fairies to any one time period. Your character would still need to audition and be approved but let your imagination run wild!

 Auditions will be in 30 minute increments with a lunch break at noon.

 They are improv, you will simply interact as your character with current cast members at the auditions.

 Auditions will be open and located at 1223 S National Ave, Springfield MO 65804.

 Barataria, as Lafitte called his colony, whose name inspired the mythical land sought by Cervantes’ Don Quixote, was nothing less than the Pirate Kingdom. In later years, after it’s fall in 1610, it would be revived by Jean LeFitte in 1808, with it’s capital in Barataria Bay. The kingdom at that time occupied 3 islands... Grande Terre, Grande Isle and Cheniere Caminada. LeFitte maintained a fleet of fifty vessels and was nearly invincible. Captain Black’s (The elected King)Barataria was the home of between 15 and 20 independent pirate ships trading with each other and protecting each other from the navies of all lands. Somehow they were aided by a mysterious character named Seymoure (whose story the world has never known) and, some say, a group of magic users devoted to him. Then came the day in 1677 when a united fleet of the British, French & Spanish warships (a group who would never have fought on the same side for anything else) sailed to destroy the Garden of Eden that was Barataria. Such magic as the world has never seen was brought to bare (by the Faeries and the Seelie & UnSeelie Fay Courts some say) and Barataria was moved. When the fleets arrived there was nothing for them to fight. What became of Barataria? Where did that kingdom go that would be beyond the reach of the world? And what dark forces would ask for their pound of flesh for joining in? And what of the fabled dark force who was named Sepsis who led those dark forces? Should you find Barataria you may find out. At the very least you will find Pirates and Fairies living a life of joy and freedom. And you might never want to leave.
