Dana M. Baird
Lady Belladonna DeVille

Dana started participating in the Minnesota Renaissance Festival in 1988, working at the dunk tank. She has played various roles at the Festival, including a squire at the jousting track and a stocks-person at the King’s Stocks. She played and worked on the Bakery Stage, and performed on the street. She was also on the Mid-America Festivals staff for five years in their costume shop.

Dana joined The Court Revelers in 2003, and has been romping around with them ever since. Dana is the composer of two of The Court Revelers original songs: Toast to Men and Three Cheers For the Drink, and has written lyrics for a number of other songs sung by the group.

Belladonna Deville enjoys men, shiny things, money, men, singing, more money, and more men.

Becca Shaffner          
Constance Amelia Wolfe, Her Ladyship, Countess of Couthe, aka "Lady Wolfe"

Becca Shaffner has been singing seriously nearly her whole life. She has been taking private vocal training since 1985 from Brad Hagen and Randy Johnson. She studied Vocal Arts at the University of Minnesota, Morris with Janet Ahern and Ken Hodgson, and performance training from the Hennepin Center for the Arts with Angela May and the workshop Performance and Movement at the Pangea Theatre with Dipankur Mukurjee.

She has been a Soloist several local churches, and has been a member of the University of MN, Morris Concert Choir; University of MN, Morris Chamber Singers; St. Peter’s Women’s’ Ensemble; St. Peter’s Mixed Ensemble; Shakespeare’s Lovechild (an a capella trio) and Wrapped in Satin (a jazz/swing ensemble).

On a personal note, Becca's dog thinks she walks entirely too slow and Becca thinks her dog has entirely too much hair. Becca's children, ages 14, 10 and 6, think that she and the dog are nuts but love them anyway. Her husband enjoys the sitcom that has become daily life and looks on in amusement. Life is good.

Jill M. Kohn
Adelaide Fenrix

Jill Kohn, a Wisconsin native, has been with The Court Revelers for over 10 years now. Having only attended a renaissance festival twice before joining the cast, she was immediately drawn to this crazy, lovable, loyal, and stupendously talented family of singers. Jill is bi-sectional (or just indecisive, starting off as an alto in the group, later deciding that she wanted to join the sopranos, and recently rejoining the “dark side” by going back to the alto section.)    
 
In her Wisconsin years Jill was a member of Wausau East High’s Concert Choir and Camerata Singers, St. Mary’s Church Choir, and the UWSP Choral Union. Her Minnesota vocal experiences include the Macalaster College Festival Choral, Minnesota Revels, and various musical productions with Heritage Theatre Co. and Woodbury Community Theater. She is currently a member of the Twin Cities Show Chorus – a chapter of Sweet Adelines International. 
 
Adelaide is the older sister of Margery, who is “Bitsey” to her “Stretch”.  She’s also accecpting candidates for a marriage contract with her dear sister (One Sister for Sale!) – Serious inquiries only.

Adelaide loves bubbles, ponies, and small, cute fuzzy things. Jill will not comment on whether or not she shares these interests, though she does frequently cater to the whims of one small white rabbit.
