Thieves Guilde Productions, Inc.

We are a volunteer theater company that specializes in providing training in theater combat, improvisational acting, stunt work and fight choreography.

The Thieves Guilde is a volunteer acting troupe. We re-enact battles of yore, when good conquered evil and the bad guys wore black. We perform at various faires and bring classic stories to life, allowing visiting patrons a chance to step back in time to the Medieval and Renaissance Periods. Through choreographed battles, including living chess boards, and larger-than-life characters, we create a world in which chivalry still lives.
