OUR PROUD HISTORY
The Troupe
LANCE Orlando is in its tenth year since incorporating as a nonprofit in 2015. Currently the troupe is over one hundred members strong, and growing every season! Our first major performance was at Jewitt School of the Arts in Winter Haven, Florida, as a part of their school’s fundraising Renaissance Faire. Throughout the years, we have performed at the (now sadly closed) Cloak & Blaster Tavern, at Hoggetown Medieval Faire as gate guards, and our annual living chess match performance at the inaugural year of the Orlando Renaissance Fesitval! Other recent performances include the Fandom Kissimmee Pop Culture Convention and the Orlando Fringe Festival, as we expand our audience and range!
The Founders
The original idea for LANCE Orlando came out of the lack of an organized stage combat troupe outside of theme parks or major entertainment venues in the Central Florida region. Ric Garcia and Olivia Lanham brought together AJ Harrett, Charles Hale, and Lane Davis to start this group. With the added help of Michael Cormier and Casey Robbins, LANCE has gone from just a dream to become a reality that has only grown over the past ten years. Our Board of Governors has grown since we first incorporated and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, but we will always be thankful to the first few, the bright dreamers who made LANCE a reality.
The Combat
All of the fighting performed by LANCE is carefully choreographed and rehearsed. While many of the moves look painful or extremely dangerous, tedious care is taken in the training and rehearsal process to ensure a high level of safety while providing exemplary entertainment. Please do not try this at home!
