Our Indiegogo Campaign is ON!

We are raising $1,000 to buy 2 single-handed broadswords for this summer's THE TRAGEDIE OF MACBETH and future plays. Money raised above the cost of the swords will help us buy or rent other weapons that we need and material and equipment for upkeep of our growing armory.

Your generosity will be rewarded during this campaign. You can get cue scripts, reserved seating and munchies at a performance, exclusive NRTC T-shirts, a text session and more! Two lucky people can have the chance to have a sword named in their honor! So don't wait!

Visit our campaign here:
