History

 

Rage Theatrics began when Jason Tipsword (yes, that's his real name) and several friends decided to begin performing combat-focused shows at Renaissance Festivals under the title "Shattock Schoole of Defence." For over eight years Shattock has performed

Ren Faires from coast to coast, although

mostly throughout the Midwest.

 

As new members joined Shattock and the range

of opportunities continued to grow, it became

apparent that "Shattock" did not embrace all of the areas in which the group was active.  Therefore, in February of 2006 Rage Theatrics was born as a registered Limited Liability Corporation.

 


Directory

 Rage Theatrics is composed of three divisions.

Shattock Schoole of Defence

Shattock is a mixed group of Renaissance-themed comedians, swordfighters, brawlers and malcontents.  Shattock shows combine comedy, combat and chaos into a fast-paced whole with something for everybody. In addition to Renaissance Faires, Shattock has been seen at city festivals, library presentations, and community events.  More info.
