Well, Howdy Folks!
TRF is fast approaching, things are taking shape for the 2026 season.
Few things- Yes, there was a fire at TRF this week.
Booth 225, Wyrmwood, suffered a devastating fire that gutted the inside completely. No one was was injured or inside the booth at the time. Fire crews from several local departments were able to subdue the flames and kept the fire contained to only that booth, luckily it did not spread. Many good folks are affected by this fire and it is not know yet if they will rebuild before the start of the show.
On a happier note, TRF Job Faire is NEXT SAT morning 10:00 AM Sept 12th. Bring or send your good referrals to see us. Returning crew that has already contacted us to confirm their spots will be 1st to pick up a limited edition Tomcat Games T-shirt!
TRF is mandating "Renaissance University" again this season, you are not required to attend but "every Employee will need to be able to demonstrate the mandatory performance skills and will be tested randomly throughout the festival performance days by the TRF Entertainment Director". Please look over the material and absolutely attend if you can.
We will have Ben, our language coach, at the Sept 19th training day about noon. He is a great teacher and makes the language fun.
