Hello dear Nottingham friends! We are still on the lookout for some wonderful actors/actresses to portray characters in our Renaissance Masters Pavilion venue at the Nottingham Village this November. Actors should have a background in improv, theatrical training and a love of history. Supplying your own material is a big plus - and interaction with the audience, fielding questions about you in character is a must. Please send your resumé to Carlos Peñaranda at carlos@nottinghamfestival. Here is a partial list of characters we might be interested in "casting": Christopher Columbus/Queen Isabella - Explorer/Monarch Johannes Guttenberg - Inventor Galileo Galilei - Scientist Hernán Cortes - Explorer Henry VIII - Monarch Sir Francis Drake - Explorer Michaelangelo Buonarroti - Artist Leonardo Da Vinci - Inventor/Artist Miguel de Cervantes - Writer Sir Thomas More - Philosopher Hans Holbein (the Younger) - Artist Jheronimus Bosch - Artist Dante Alighieri - Writer Niccolo Machiavelli - Philosopher William Byrd - Composer Orlando Lasso - Composer Gemma Frisius - Mathematician (male) John Cabot - Expolorer Amerigo Vespucci - Explorer Sir Walter Raleigh - Explorer Vasco da Gama - Explorer
