Willie's Wenches
We're Willie's Wenches, a freaky five-some of four ladies and one guy (who usually gets in the way), working for none other than the Bard of Avon himself. Seems Willie S. finally got sick of all the English class-induced snores he was getting and hired us girls to revive the fine Elizabethan traditions of slapstick and and bawdy (or is that bawdily?) humor. Using a multitude of talents (including but not limited to: puppet combat, sci-fi teenage hijinx, and spontaneous musical numbers) we go "undercover" in hilarious retellings of Willie's works to fulfill our mission of no-holds-bard (wink wink nudge nudge) entertainment!

SMYDGYN
Allow us the pleasure of introducing you all to the members of our haughty crew. We are honored to present you with our music, comedic boldness and lust for keeping you entertained. It is our highest hopes to keep the spirit of Piracy, Inebriation and Atrocity alive and well!

Captain Roger - Our fearless leader! His statuesque guitar playing and love of all that is decadent is what keeps this crew “in line and alive”. What a leader! His ingenious sense of humor will bring a smile to your face. He is quite prone to burst forth with a spoof that, even, the rest of us don’t expect. If his dashing good looks are not mentioned here, Ah! What a shame, for if all endowments are NOT acknowledged, it is a certainty that someone will to pay the dearest cost! Rum, flogging and a bit (lot) more Rum… These are not mere words presented, they are the path he has blithely chosen!

RoNNI - Ah, how her voice will entice you. Do not let her, seemingly innocent, charm fool you… (We are all well aware of her appetite for the Captain!) Her wit charm and beauty will most certainly “blow the stink off ya”! (We also have errorless reason to suspect that our Captain harbors impure thoughts for she, as well) Do not cross her, however, as I believe she possesses the same passion for the same path as her clandestine love… In a word! Decadence!

LYNN - Her lilting voice will also lull you. As with Ronni, however, do not let her chaste disposition hide her vim for coquetry. As if her vocals and lovely harmonies weren’t enough talent, she is also quite the seamstress. Of all the clothing we wenches have so longed to adorn ourselves with, none can match the exquisiteness that her hands are able to create. Her witty outbursts are not easy to catch, pay close attention!

RANDOM - If you are in search of a lower and slight sultry voice, here it is! Mysterious, with a possible ambition to gain further control of the crew. (Please do not let the Captain be privy to this information) Her attire and inclination to beg for tips, in whatever fashion she finds suitable, may taunt you to pat her bum. Do not! lest you fancy a sting and handprint on either side the face. Please place monies of any type in her tambourine, for she will only continue to beg mercilessly.
