Windsor Ensemble

The Windsor Ensemble will be more of he middle class families that the Pages invite to their house for the opening scene party in honor of Falstaff.  They typify the middle class values that both the Pages and Fords honor throughout.

The women are strong, independent and responsible; their servants are trustworthy and loyal; the men work hard and are the leaders of their household.  They are religious but not devout.  They are wise but not educated.  They are trustful but superstitious.  They like to work hard and play hard.  The children will be discussed at length in their own entry.  These folks raise their children to be honest, strong and loyal.  They are not afraid to discipline their children, or have their servants do it.

Garter Ensemble

The Garter Inn is a multi-purpose facility.  It is the town bar, restaurant, hotel, entertainment hot spot and brothel.  The women that work there have any number of jobs that relate to one or all of the Inn's many functions.  They serve the men and women of Windsor and do so admirably and with good intent.

They will have 2 "dances" in the production.  One that will set up the Garter Inn and what it is, who they are and what the do there.  The second dance will further the plot of the German Duke business.
