Jester

The Jester is the second oldest position at CTY Lancaster, and the only position to be shared by both sessions. It is a job with few responsibilities but is held in nothing but the highest regard. The Jester's main function is to act out the scenes in "American Pie" when the Jester steals the King's thorny crown and when the Jester is on the sidelines in a cast. The Jester also leads the Acting Improv activity with one other person of the Jester's choosing. The Jester organizes the stealing of The Painting in the site director's office as well as Second Sunday Shenanigans. The Jester is a nomore who is widely respected in the Lancaster community. Although the Jester is the oldest position at First Session, at Second Session, which has even older positions, it is slightly overshadowed in comparison. At both sessions, the Jester is usually passed down to someone who is considered to be outgoing and to have a good sense of humor, as a real jester would. In the latter Session, the Jester was part of the Pentinity.

The Jester's distinguishing article are a Jester's coat and hat. The hat originally belonged to Ken Levin and the coat was given to him by 2001 RA Travis-Jason "TJ" Feldstein. The coat and hat are passed down each year at Passionfruit to a promising one-more both sessions. As of LAN 14.2, the Jester also has a red slide whistle (a practice started by Matias "Mavs" Gonzalez). Ryan Grewal took an unprecedented amount of time to pass on the jacket and hat to Daniel Rock before 14.1, so RA Vivian purchased replacements. These were used in 15.1 and will presumably continue to be the session one Jester relics. There is a latex condom inside the left coat pocket as of 15.1.
