Why do we call ourselves the Guild of St Luke? St Luke was the patron saint of artists; bachelors; bookbinders; brewers; butchers; doctors; glass makers; glassworkers; gold workers; goldsmiths; lacemakers; lace workers; notaries; painters; physicians; sculptors; stained glass workers; surgeons. Many of these craftsmen made up the "Middle Class" of Elizabethan England, therefore we are called after him.
The members of Saint Lukes portray the "Middle Class" inhabitants of our Elizabethan village. Our characters range from the lower middle class to upper middle class. Among us are merchants, both well-to-do and not, craftsmen, the ostler (innkeeper), the goodwives and various townsfolk, both ordinary and extraordinary, of our village. You will see us roaming the streets entertaining the visitors to our village by performing improv theatre, comedy and drama, country dance, and song.
We are currently accepting new members. To inquire about the guild, please email the Membership Director here.
