Abacus Black Strikes NOW!:
The Rampant Justice of Abacus Black

In signature, spectacular style, The National Theater of the United States of America takes on the phenomena of crusade, faith and mission in this world premiere tent revival celebrating the history and lore of ancient knight Abacus Black. Held captive by a band of merry players on a pilgrimage through the zombie nation to the famed “City of Gold”, the notorious crusader struggles with secrets buried deep within his withered heart.

The National Theater of the United States of America is Ryan Bronz, Mark Doskow, Yehuda Duenyas, Jesse Hawley, Jonathan Jacobs, Normandy Sherwood and James Stanley.

Approximate running time: 1 hour.
