Last November, we had our first chance to dress an entire cast in Churchill Theatre’s production ofThe Lion in Winter. This magnificent play, made famous in the film starring Peter O’Toole and Catherine Hepburn, takes place during an ill-fated Christmas court late in the reign of King Henry II. Director Michael C. Whitehill was so impressed by the detail and variety of our 12thcentury line that he decided to let us costume his entire cast – straight off the rack! This is the largest contribution we’ve made to a theatrical project, and Mr. Whitehill was nice enough to send us his cast photos to share.

In 2006, in the midst of the Midnight Madness rush, the herald for Their Royal Majesties of the East, Brion and Anna, called Nicole to come forward and attend Their pleasure. Queen Anna explained that it was traditional for great lords to find those artisans and craftsmen whose work was particularly pleasing to Them and to grant them an official appointment of patronage. She went on to explain that Revival’s clothes, and Nicole’s assistance had been a great help to Their Majesties during Their reign, and thus they were granting us just such an appointment! Nicole was presented a plaque that she proudly hung in the Revival shop for the remainder of Pennsic. We loved the period flare and &quote;magic moment&quote; that Their Majesties’ gesture added to the evening, and are deeply honored that our work has so pleased Them and gained Their trust to award us this appointment.

Our customer appreciation give away contest was so popular at Pennsic last year we decided to make a new annual tradition! Our contest winner wasJohn Harper of Maryland. John came into the booth in a sharp, 16thcentury doublet that his lady had made for him, certain that there must be a mistake because, “I never win anything”.We quickly proved him wrong and our staff soon had that fine Elizabethan fellow taking a walking on the medieval side! John couldn’t believe how sharp he looked in his gold linen cotte, red chausses and red hood and as we saw him later in the day happily accoutering himself with garters and pilgrim’s badges from some of the other Pennsic merchants, we felt pretty certain that the 14thcentury reenactor scene may have just gained a new devotee! John is posing here with Revival Clothing owner/designer Nicole Allen.

As a thank-you to all of our customers, Revival Clothing announced at the start of the Pennsic War that we would hold a drawing at the stroke of midnight on Midnight Madness to give away a full wardrobe of clothing, no strings attached! Over 1500 people entered the contest and we were more than a little daunted when we stepped out of our tent at five to midnight to find a large crowd surrounding the doorway, patiently waiting. Our winner was Kaylin Duncan of Fowler, IN. Kaylin made the perfect Cinderella. Besides being a lovely, fresh-faced young lady who was brimming with excitement, she is a college student who was at her first Pennsic, wearing mostly borrowed garb. She said that she had been embarrassed to enter the contest because she couldn’t afford to buy a dress. Fortunately, her friend used a little persuasive brow-beating and got her to enter, which gave us the opportunity to pull out our magic wands and let Kaylin put together the full wardrobe of her choice. She chose a blue, front-laced gown, underdress, stockings and veil. Presto-chango, and we had her in this new wardrobe, and the tunic and harem pants she wore in packed into a bag. As our Cinderella and her entourage swept off proudly into the Pennsic streets, we put away our fairy wands and smiled at just how wonderful – and happy – she looked.

Winner Kaylin Duncan of Fowler, IN all dressed up and ready to go!
