Chaste Treasure set for a Glorious Return on Sept 15 & 16

19th Annual Village Renaissance Faire—A Faire for a Cause Support the public library & have fun too!

The 19th Village Renaissance Faire is bigger, bolder, and better than ever before, so come one, come all this September 15 & 16 to the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds in Wrightstown, PA, and for $10 or less. We have chosen the Renaissance Faire to be the biggest fundraiser for the Village Library of Wrightstown, as both the Library and the Arts empower and motivate people to explore, pursue, and achieve their goals, dreams and best. The wonderful rise of the arts may have never been greater, and the addition of Chaste Treasure exemplifies that as much as the aerialists, fire-breathers, birds of prey, jousters, juggling, musicians, dancers, puppeteers, marionettes, and more.

Truly a treasure, but Questionably Chaste, this trio of upper ladies brings you family sass through song and banter cannot be limited to three stunning women in court dresses who sing a cappella. Shortly after starting in 2013 at the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, the immediately gained recognition and were asked to tour to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, and the demand for them have never slowed. Their founder, much like the faire director's own daughter, started young, at the age of two, and yes, in today's age of fake news, there are photos. The ladies just always loved performing. All of the performers you see here are professional actresses who have done paid shows on stage. What this show, Chaste Treasure, does is abandon scripts and specific conventions. The songs are well rehearsed, but which song comes next is completely up in the air. So,. just like everything else at the Village Faire, the people, the flow, everyone becomes part of the show.

For those of mature age, they have been called “the most fun you can have with your clothes on” For those of tender age, their lovely voices, beautiful attire, and rhythmical performance make them entertaining for all.
