Known World Players

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


The Known World Players (KWP) 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 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.
