and assistant food and beverage manager of Medieval.” The

Both the Florida and California operations were structured
into departments that included marketing, accounting, food and
beverage, show, sound and lighting, photography, gift shop, and
stables and knights. The department heads reported to the
general manager of each castle. The general manager approved
changes that were improvements in the operation of the castle and
did not substantially change the “theme” of the show. The
general managers provided information on the operations to the
Spanish investors.
Jack Rein (Rein) was a professionally trained actor and
dramatic writer. He was hired by the California castle as the
emcee a month after it opened in 1986. When Rein commenced his
employment, he was given a 10-page outline of the show. Rein
began updating the script during 1987 and 1988, making it more
complete by adding dialogue for different characters and for the
emcee. Every 6 months or so, the ending of the story was
changed, and changes were made to the script to reflect the
different endings. Rein continued to update and vary the script
to reflect dialogue changes in the show. In 1992, Rein prepared
a script that became the standard for all of the castles.
