We acknowledge that our venue is located on the unceded lands of the Whonkentia Manahoac people and the area built using enslaved labor.

The Noble Blades believe discrimination, harassment, inequality, racism and abuse have no place in the theatre community, stage combat community, or in society as a whole. Regardless of whether theatre is at the community or regional level, we strongly believe that historically excluded groups have voices worth hearing and should be amplified in all areas of theatre and the arts.
