Our President, Eric von Starck, has been responsible,
while a theater producer and director based in Britain for 17 years,
for managing festivals with five tented stages filled with 370
performers from 8 countries working in dance, opera, theater,
satire, comedy, clowning and - fortune telling. All with a 10,000
Sq. Ft cafe tent serving more beer than any public house in
Scotland. This was the Edinburgh Festival - for 5
years.
So, for us - at Shackamaxon, we do not blanch at the
impossible : such as getting a festival up and running on a public
bridge with five hours to put up all the tenting, seating,
electrics, stage, amplification, food vending, art show, 38
exhibitors, sponsor banners - and park 9 wooden canoes. All with a
baby budget. And what a fine day that was!
