Known World Players

Known World Players

The Known World Players is a small theater troupe based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Officially founded in 2001 as an in-house troupe for the Drachenburg Renaissance Festival, the Known World Players (also known as KWP), began performing at other Renaissance Fairs around the country.

KWP focuses on stage combat and uses the Society of American Fight Directors style of choreography. Creative costuming and completely tailored shows have been a hallmark of KWP since its inception. Popular productions have included the Pirate/Shakespeare human chess match, and many iterations of fantasy shows involving a bevy of fairies, trolls, elves, goblins, and sprites.

In recent years, the troupe has shifted focus from Ren Faires to Science Fiction Conventions and Anime conventions.

Some past locations of shows by KWP include:
*Drachenburg Renaissance Festival
*Shakespeare and Friends in the Park
*Alabama Renaissance Festival
*Louisiana Renaissance Festival
*Geneseo Shakespearean Festival
*Ravenhearst Medieval Fantasy Faire
*MARCO Faire
*The Nashville Public Library
*Smokey Mountain Renaissance Festival
*Oak Ridge Renaissance Faire
*Rossini Italian Street Fair
*Middle Tennessee Anime Convention
*Hypericon
*InConJunction
*Frolicon
*Explor-A-Con
