Welcome to River Theater Company of Charlestown, NH!

RTC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community theater group that offers theater opportunities in production and education to communities in southwestern New Hampshire and southeastern Vermont. Founded in 2004, RTC has offered numerous productions, classes and workshops to youth and adults, from original works to Shakespeare. 

RTC produces a variety of plays:  Shakespeare-by-the-River in Patch Park, an annual murder mystery dinner theater, family productions, staged readings of Charlestown's playwright Charles Hoyt and in 2012 our first full musical (stay tuned for details.) RTC is also joined with Fort No. 4 to stage Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in September 2011 - a great success!

This year RTC and Charlestown Rotary Club have begun renovations to the upstairs theater of the Old Town Hall on Summer Street, hoping to bring a beautiful little theater back to life. Currently a fundraiser is underway to help fund the needed fire and safety rennovations for the building. If you would like to donate to the perservation of this historic building please see the information on this site about the Town Hall Renovations.

We hope you can join us as we continue to bring quality live theater entertainment to the area. Browse our site to see upcoming events or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to add your name to our e-mail list.
