Audrey Newbacher
Mistress of Revels
Fashion designer by day, party planner by night,
Audrey Newbacher has an extensive background in
costuming, theatre, and history. She was inspired to
create Yorecraeft Productions after attending
immersive historical events in New York City and
abroad. It is her mission to bring the past back to life
to better understand the present, and to support local
artists with creative and meaningful work. She is
passionate about bridging the gap between art,
education, commerce, and entertainment.
Robyn Marcs
Court Jester/Webmistress
Born to a high school history teacher and a Civil War
buff, Robyn developed a lifelong love and passion for
history at a very early age. She has over ten years of
experience working in museums and nonprofit
organizations including fundraising and education.
Having been involved in the performing arts since the age
of four, she enjoys any excuse to dress up and interact
with the public! When not at Yorecraeft events, Robyn
can be found critiquing costumes in historic films with
her cat, Cecily Neville, Duchess of York. She also serves on the board of the Cleveland Silent Film Festival.
Simone Davenport
Mistress of Dance
Thanks to her Nana and their frequent outings to the Kent
State University Fashion Museum, Simone has nurtured an
enduring love of historical fashion since elementary school.
After studying fashion design, then taking a decade-long
detour into a career as a translator, she now creates custom
garments for historical reenactments and other special
events. Meanwhile, Simone has been involved in an ardent
love affair with dance - with the courtly graces, and with
the unbridled joy that twirling brings. She is an insatiable
student of classical ballet, and hopes to revive and share all
manner of historical dances through Yorecraeft events.
