Newton Theatre Company stands with Black Lives Matter. 

As a troupe, we know we can do more to share more diverse stories and uplift voices that have historically been silenced.  Beginning with our 2020-2021 season, we will seek to cast at least 40 percent of our roles across the year’s productions with artists of color.  We pledge that at least 30 percent of the shows we do will be written by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) playwrights, with an emphasis on female writers. We are reaching out to local BIPOC directors and are excited to collaborate. We also pledge to make fundamental changes at the board level by growing our four-person Board of Directors to six, adding two BIPOC members.

A virtual collage of music, movement, and theatre. “And Then We Baked Bread” is a snapshot of life in its most uncertain moments. This evening of short performances is a seriously fun, perfectly imperfect, raw and honest release, teaching us what it means to live fully in the present moment even if it’s scary. 

About always nothing else by Beth Hyland

Marco Polo is an app that lets you record videos of yourself for your friends, and Meg and Tom are two friends sending each other videos on Marco Polo during These Difficult Times. always nothing else follows Meg and Tom as they bake/don't bake, cope/don't cope, drink/definitely drink, and maybe/maybe don't realize what they actually really need from each other.

always nothing else was originally developed at First Floor Theater.
We're thrilled to have joey sims joining us as a guest bartender for this production!

A huge shout out to all of the incredible artists behind our  production of It's a Wonderful Life. Thank you for being a source of light during the darkest time of the year!
​
Founded in 2013 by Melissa Bernstein, the mission of Newton Theatre Company is to create excellent works of art in new ways by using talent from around the Greater Boston area.  Our productions include original stagings of contemporary and classical literature, new plays and devised pieces, with a focus on women's voices. Our goal is to promote community through artistic expression.  Eager to partner with other local non-profit organizations, we choose meaningful material that fosters civically-engaged audiences. We strive to promote accessibility; at least one production every year is free of charge.

A Huge Thank You to This Season's Corporate Sponsors!
