The Wonder Elixir of Life show
is a classic, Renaissance-era 'medicine show' in the style of the Mountebanks of the Tudor Era and beyond. Drawing on many sources, and speaking in some of the smoothest fast-patter around, our characters extol the virtues of their 'amazing elixir' and continue to delight and entertain the audience in the meantime with small routines of 'fortune telling', magic, and humor.
​
Historical European martial arts (HEMA) refers to a variety of martial arts of European origin, particularly fencing systems which have died out long ago. The HEMA movement seeks to recreate these arts through the study of manuals and treatises written in the times when these arts were still in active use.

“Duchess” Lizzy Fleete
is Alabama Renaissance Faire's resident unworthy poor beggar, groveler, carrot- enthusiast, kisser of feet, praiser of magnificence, and footstool to Royalty. Having grown up in the somber shadow of the Fleet Debtor’s Prison, Lizzy learned fine manners from the incarcerated noble-folk while running errands for a coin. After losing her carrot farmer husband (or possibly just misplacing him on purpose), Lizzy became a member of the unworthy poor, and sought a career as a lowly minion and beggar.
L.U.T.E., the Living Statue, represents a time when the Church was the greatest patron of the Arts flourishing in the Renaissance.
In the midst of the magic of the
Alabama Renaissance Faire,
L.U.T.E. encourages guests to
Lift. Up. Thine. Eyes.
