GREEN IS THE NEW BURGUNDY
Castle Wall Productions Begins All-Paperless Newsletter
March 10, 2010 – In an age where the environment takes a backseat to personal luxuries, Castle Wall Productions has decided to make a conscious effort to 'Go Green'. Castle Wall has traditionally relied on printed forms and calendars to update its members of the current events and upcoming shows and news that pertains to them. Embracing the digital age, an initiative has started that has transitioned much of the printed forms to their website, www.castlewallproductions.com, and reduced the amount of paper consumed by the company.
COME ONE, COME ALL, AUDITIONS ARE BACK!
Theatrical Combat Troupe Holds Open Auditions at Rockrest Lounge
January 16, 2010 – On a Sunday afternoon at Mission Veijo Park a passerby will see a group of people wielding swords, shields, and daggers. Practice is in full swing for the 2010 season for Castle Wall Productions and the sound of battle is in the air. And the best part? They’re recruiting.
The Rockrest Lodge in Golden will be hosting the auditions on March 1st and 2nd between 6:00PM and 9:00 PM. Actors, ages 17 and up, will be asked to recite a monologue of their choosing that would reflect a character from the Robin Hood story they wish to portray. Spectators, as well as performers are more than welcome.
Each week Castle Wall can be seen at Mission Viejo Park in Aurora practicing for their performance of their Robin Hood Story and Fantasy shows that take place at Renaissance Festivals and similar events throughout the spring and summer. The troupe teaches each member how to fight with steel weapons, perform stunts and act. “What Castle Wall does is similar to what you see in Hollywood movies as far as stunts, fighting, and acting. Castle Wall Productions focuses heavily on safety and we strive to bring quality entertainment to our audiences”, said Eric Medved, the President of Castle Wall Productions.
New Members joining Castle Wall are asked to pay a one-time fee of $150.00; refunding half of the enrollment fee once the member fulfills a one-year commitment. The fees go towards costumes, weapons repair, and props.
The troupe has many shows around the Front Range, such as the Colorado Medieval Festival, Highland’s Ranch Scottish Festival, Opus and others as far as Iowa and eastern Kansas. Vice President of Castle Wall Patrick “Badger” Carpio said, “This is what we do and we love to do it. [We] hope to see you this next year.”
