Membership Information

Membership in St. Henry's Guild comes in two forms: Full Member and Friend of the Guild.

The Full Members of St. Henry's Guild make up the core of our troupe and are the most active souls in our productions. Dues for Full Members are $25 per year (with varying discounts for couples and children). Full members of the guild become an integral part of our court and household shows with

*first priority for casting,

*full voting rights in the guild,

*gatelisting to each of the faires in which the guild participates,

*receipt of e-newsletter via e-mail,

*Assistance from St. Henry's in developing a character and improving faire skills.

Friends of the Guild range from those who wish to be 'part-time' members because they do not have the time to devote to full membership, people with a newfound or passing interest in participating in faire, spouses or significant others of full members, those "trying the guild on for size", or members of other guilds who wish to come and play with us while their guild takes a break from a faire weekend. Friends of the Guild dues are $10 per year.

Friends of the Guild are much appreciated for their support of our shows at faire and receive

*casting consideration on a secondary, as-needed basis.

*gatelisting for all faires at which the guild participates.

*e-newsletter.

What do we expect from you?

We expect you to learn all that you can, strive for personal excellence, and still have fun. During your first year, you will gain experience and assistance in the following skills:

A reasonable understanding of:

a. History

b. Court Protocol

c. Language

d. Character research

Costume acquisition: New members often borrow costumes from other members during their first few months. By the end of your apprentice year, you will be required to have the basics of your costumes and props.
