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; 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. Damn
