Niagara Regional Theatre Guild (NRTG)
_______________________________________________________________________

The Niagara Regional Theatre Guild (formerly Niagara Falls Little Theatre) has now been producing shows for 83 years, making us one of the oldest continuously-running local theatre in New York State!

After moving to the Historic Riviera Theatre, we officially changed our name from NFLT to NRTG in 2004, to reflect our regional nature;Ê our talent, our audience, and our volunteers come to us from throughout Western New York.

While we no longer reside in Niagara Falls, we continue to serve Niagara Falls, as well as the rest of the Niagara Frontier with top-notch entertainment.

We're very proud to say that NRTG is the official Resident Theatre Company ofÊ the Cardinal O'Hara Performing Arts Center. With the 2007-2008 season, we've found a new home at the 800-seat auditorium at Cardinal O'Hara O'Hara High School's Performing Arts Center.
