All the live shows represented here were produced under the artistic direction of Dennis Collins Johnson and Brian Belge. Many are Renaissance faire shows, but many others are not. Most are interactive, but some are not. Several are improvised. The overriding concept during their creation and production was to fashion dramatic and comic illusions that would entertain, illuminate, and inspire. Many times those illusions involved stepping back in time. Endless thanks to all the many wonderful actors, directors, dancers, musicians, choreographers, stuntpersons, independent acts, technical crews, vendors, gamers, builders, groundskeepers, and staff members who made these shows, these times, not only possible, but extraordinary and memorable. Particular gratitude is extended to David Donovan, Kitty Jones, Glen Johnson, Michael Donahue, and John Thomas for their excellence and invaluable assistance through the years on so many levels. Boundless appreciation goes to Paddy Crean, who gave so much of his caring, experience, and expertise in those all too brief days. Others who have made significant contributions to multiple events over time include, in no particular order: Allen Kretschmar, Craig Cody, Paul Jackman, David Jackman, Valerie Lippincott, Doug Mumaw, Barry Lambert, Scott Robinson, Claudia Harrison, David Watts, Justine Reiss, Tiffini Minatel, M. Scott Robinson, Jenifer Weber-Zeller, Victor Warring, Lisa Block, Chris Ockler, Tain Collins, Alicia Collins, Alene Brandt, Chris Davis, Ron Haynes, Chris Adams, Anita Kane, Marci Resnicoff, Thomas Jones, Dono Cunningham, Trish Ellis Herr, Duncan Inches, Nick Newlin, Joanne Flynn, Judi Lewis, Gene McDaniels, Dylan Collins, Tara Mallen, Jamie Cheatham, Deena Gray Catalone, Frank Polvino, Paul Preston, Karen Volpe, Laura Messner, Dali McDaniels, Billy Decker, Derek Brigham, Dave Massengale, Joni Massengale, Barby Holder, Terry Hartzell, Kelly Bailey, Carla Tarin, John LaRose, Roger Fountain, Todd Fleming, Karen Fleming, Nicole Tibbetts, Hanita Blair, Mark Meister, Donna Cutting, Roger Fountain, Scott Nice, Steve Welch, Willis Middleton, Alix Maiden-Baillie, Ken Bradley, Gina Campbell, Ted Schaeffer, Andy Roberts, Nick Newlin, Joanne Flynn, Tyson Group, Mark Priest, and Lorraine Sullo. Our apologies to anyone we may have overlooked. Special thanks goes to Gary Izzo, who started it all and continues to inspire us. These shows are dark now, the casts and crews have moved on, the audiences have dispersed, but we still have the videos. Now finally, we also have the opportunity to share them.

You really got me with the dedication.
Thanks for all the absolutely wonderful, inspired, creative, challenging opportunities your expertise, your tenacity and your faith in my artistic abilities have afforded me throughout my professional career -- All stemming from a chance historical, improvised, interactive theatrical exchange between an actor and a storyteller on a Sterling country lane lo, these many years ago.
Love and light,
Brian
It was a privilege to share those marvelous times with you! I will never forget you and will always be grateful for everything you taught me. May you both be richly blessed--long may your talents prosper!
Love, Allen
