What are your group's NON-costume standards? And how are they enforced?
Does your group/guild/faire have a manual or set of guidelines that covers what the group/guild/faire's expectations are re: participant/cast member behavior toward patrons and each other? Are these hard and fast rules that outline appropriate behavior or just suggestions that everyone play nicely?
If you have such rules, how are they enforced? Does your guildmaster/director have sole discretion when it comes to disciplinary action or do the guild/cast members take a vote on how to deal with infractions?
Are things like failure to stay in character, failure to meet costume expectations on faire days or using cell phones where patrons can see you part of these guidelines?
If a guild/cast member breaks several rules or does something so bad that others feel they need to be removed from the guild/cast, how does your group deal with that?

Re: What are your group's NON-costume standards?
Tue, October 13, 2009 - 3:35 PMI've got a very long list of behavioral expectations: www.stgeorgenorth.org/policies
As a director, it's my duty to point out when somebody's not measuring up and ask for corrections. If it isn't happening, I am within my rights to disallow somebody to perform. Most folks will respond positively and try to conform.
I try to make it clear that we're putting on a theatrical production, not just serving as a day-spa with a strange dress code. If anybody's not on board with what the show's supposed to be, I don't need them.
In rare cases I find somebody simply not compatible with with our aims and I may ask them to find another way to amuse themselves at faire. It's solely my own responsibility. We're a benign dictatorship. -
