Thank you for a great 2020-2021 season!

Our eighth season has officially come to a close! It has been such a privilege to present seven different productions over the course of this year and to bring joy to our community during this challenging time.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this season, both online and in person– we would not have made it through without you. We can't wait to start our ninth season this fall and promise that it will be full of high quality, accessible, and inclusive works!

Stay tuned for more information about productions and educational offerings by joining our email list. Until then, have a wonderful, wonderful summer!
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.

Thank you to all of the incredible artists who contributed to Mary Stuart! It was such a thrill to be back performing in person, and we couldn't have asked for a better co-producer than Cappella Clausura.​​
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: Our pay-what-you-can ticket model makes theatre financially accessible to all.

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