An ancient germanic word which simply means, "to be in a good mood." A unique minstrel troupe filled with fun, humor, endless amounts of energy along with music, dance and comedy. All this fused together with a generous amount of "wolgemutness" turns every Wolgemut show into a high powered event, a Renaissance Rock concert!
