The Rage of the Stage Players

The Rage of the Stage Players is an alternative, fringe theatre group based in south western Pennsylvania, USA.[1] The group specializes in staging plays with mature themes.[2][3]

History

The Rage of the Stage Players was founded in 2001 by playwright James Michael Shoberg and wife Carrie L. Shoberg.[4] The company has produced original plays based on familiar children's stories,[5] legends and fairy tales, such as "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland",[6] "Dracula",[7][8] "Dorothy in Oz",[9] "The Picture of Dorian Gray"[10] and a stage adaptation of The Butcher Brothers movie, The Hamiltons.

In 2006, J.P. Patrick was awarded Best Actor for his performance in "The Hideous Face of Love", a play produced by The Rage of the Stage Players as part of the Pittsburgh New Works Festival.[11]

In addition to the Shoberg’s, David Wooddell acts as a board member and their Marketing Director.[12]
