Joining us once again is the incredible Dr. Kimberly Tony Korol-Evans. This is a VERY deep dive following the cast member, performer and published historian, through the streets of the Maryland renaissance festival in Crownsville, MD.

Victoria Van Arnam and Nicole Skelly sit down with Margret Ebert of Barely Balanced.  Follow along as we talk about how many non-performance things festival entertainers have to do on not-weekends, and we find out about Margret's evolution in one of the most popular acrobatic show at renaissance festivals!
