Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for No Child..., the one-night-only kickoff to our 10th season!

Nilaja Sun's stirring one-woman show about a teaching artist working in a New York City public school offered a powerful start to our season. We were thrilled to have Regan Sims back with us for another show, and to formally mark the beginning of our residency at Saint John's Episcopal Church!

​A Note from the Artistic Director

“Unprecedented” doesn’t even begin to describe the past few years, but we are immensely grateful to the community of in-person and virtual audiences who have challenged us and kept us afloat. We have pushed ourselves to determine the type of art we want to make, and the work we want to do for the people that we serve.

In 2020, we released our anti-racism action plan, which included pledges that:

  • At least 50 percent of our roles across the year’s productions will be cast with artists of color
  • At least 40 percent of our plays will tell stories from under-represented communities​​
  • We will continue to look into new ways to promote anti-racism throughout our organization

With our 2021-2022 season, we are thrilled to introduce you to our new, all-female board. Be sure to say hello if you see them at our shows!

For more information about upcoming performances, you can like our Facebook page or subscribe to our email list.

Stay tuned for more details about our exciting upcoming season!

Hope to see you at our next show!

–Melissa Bernstein, Artistic Director

The mission of Newton Theatre Company is to create innovative interpretations of works of art with a focus on women's voices. Our productions include original stagings of classical literature, new plays and devised pieces that celebrate the art of storytelling and often challenge historical representations of women. Eager to partner with other local non-profit organizations, we choose meaningful material that fosters civically-engaged audiences. 

A Huge Thank You to This Season's Sponsors & Supporters!
