Guerilla Theatre is a nuts-and-bolts approach to the kind of interactive environmental theatre found only at Faires, and is a superb handbook for both the beginner and advanced street/improvisational actor.

Written by J. Paul Moore, a forty-year Renaissance Faire performance veteran and a master of improvisational theatre, the book guides the reader through the crafting and performing of a wide variety of ways to entertain Faire-goers, singly and in groups. The book is edited by Phyllis Patterson, the creator of the original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Agoura, California.

Different than any other kind of theatre, the streets of the Faire are the actor's stage, and the flowing ever-changing crowd their audience. In Guerilla Theatre, Mr. Moore supplies a how-to guide for mastering the required skills for playing to this audience, along with exercises, illustrations, a generous number of gambits that worked for him, and a goodly helping of war stories.

What is Guerrilla Theatre?
Guerrilla Theatre for Faires is an interactive style of improvisational performance allowing audiences to become actual players in the show. The experience is by turns aggressive, passive, intimate, distant, obvious and covert. There are as many approaches as there are people to approach it. It is a broad, colorful, and captivating way of approaching the Faire canvas.

Although a passion and/or talent for improvisation will prove invaluable in Guerrilla Theatre, the technique of creating distant visuals and hatching covert operations require little or no such calling. In fact, one can oft times recruit players from the audience to join your merry band on the spot - some more willingly than others. As a lone wolf or member of a group, one can create an exhilarating and compelling under-current of village life in Shakespeare's England.

About the Author
A Theatre Arts major at Los Angeles City College, Mr. Moore began a forty year affiliation with the Southern (California) Renaissance Pleasure Faire in 1967. Over his tenure, Mr. Moore has taught pre-faire workshops in Elizabethan Language, Swashbuckling 101, and Guerrilla Theatre. In addition to writing and directing many stage shows he has portrayed major theme characters, including Robin Hood, Sir Francis Drake, the Lord Mayor, Captain and Sir Tristan Hawkins. A co-founder of several theatrical and environmental groups, Mr. Moore has also directed a covert band of theatre guerrillas, The Lord Mayor's Players, and much of the material detailed in the Compendium of Bits chapter evolved from the talents of these troupes.

A magician as well as an actor and author, Mr. Moore has appeared on numerous occasions at The Magic Castle in Hollywood, as well as in many films. In addition to Guerrilla Theatre, he has also written Busking as a Mercenary Art and Swash-Buckling 101.

His colleague at the Southern Faire, the highly regarded David Springhorn, has this to say about Mr. Moore and his new book: "What we have here is a battle manual made by a Captain in the trenches, and I highly suggest you follow it. J. Paul Moore taught me more than "gorilla" theater: he gave me the gift of communicating Magic to an audience; how to alter their reality and my own; how to destroy the thin membrane between actor and spectator; how to put myself on the line so I could draw the audience into the Faire's communal soul. Think I am laying it on too thick? Well, pal, if you're not having this same intense personal experience with the crowd, you ain't doin' it right "

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
