Check post history before calling shillbot pls <| sep |> You should bring it everywhere you go visiting . <| sep |> Hi ! If you ' re looking for a renaissance fair , Gainesville definitely has that . I ' m not too sure about the intricacies of it but I have a ton of friends who volunteer at it one of them runs the sword fighting ! . As for the community theatre , Gainesville has about four small theatres , three of which are communitybased . I ' m a part of the Gainesville Community Playhouse so I ' m a bit biased , but we do musicals and plays whilst the others only do plays the Hippodrome does one musical a year , I think . It ' s definitely got a pretty good creativearts area . I wouldn ' t be concerned about that . As for friends , I ' m a college student who just moved in so I ' m not so sure if I ' d be welcome ! But the GCP definitely has people in your age range that could be fast friends , and Duck Pond is full of your demographic , too .
