Living Art—
On May 11, 1963, in the dust-strewn lanes of Laurel Canyon, a counterculture theatrical conception was given lyfe: the creation of living art. To reconnect with the Earth, to stand outside the self, to celebrate ecstasy and to experience a truly transformative and euphoric expedition into the past—The Renaissance Faire.
Dun dun dun...
We tirelessly endeavor to bring this spirit to Faires and pluck people from the mundane and hurl them into our magickal, realm. And it is this illusion that we cultivate, nurture and deliver to Faires around the country through fascinating and imaginative characters ever-delving deeper to bring the artist-child out to play.

The Rainbow & Pom-Pom Show—
In 2014, Aydan and I spent our first Christmas together. We were at a toy store shopping for gifts for my two nephews, and we happened upon a pair of hilarious puppets. At the time, I had a few hand puppets that I kept in my car because that's where puppets live, right? I played with people on the road who were not in the best of moods. I called them my anti road rage puppets. They became my sidekicks and I took them with me on my Renaissance Faire tour-gig-job. But the new puppets were another breed of awesomeness! And when you're in a toy store something magickal happens—you act like a kid! So we did. During that bout of jovial gestation, we decided to create a puppet show. We worked on the characters everyday, fleshed them out and decided to make the puppet show complete improv. Now we are making comedy videos for you!

Music & Books—
I, Michael, am constantly practicing, writing, performing and recording music. Most of my music is acoustic-based and I embrace several different styles of music. And books! Mostly fiction, but I have written non-fiction, travel, romance and biographical works.

We invite you to join us and share this fantastic adventure with us. Thank you for your support, your love and for opening your hearts and homes to us.
