Season Seven is Here!

Welcome to our 2019-2020 season! We are thrilled to announce five new shows based around the theme "Queens of the Realm."

From Grecian temples to the Tower of London, with characters as varied as The Grand High Witch to Mary Queen of Scots, this season is centered around powerful women, reminding us all that a woman’s place is wherever the decisions are being made.

We look forward to a season of powerful text and inventive staging, and are proud to be telling stories that might otherwise be overlooked.

Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris
Translated by Anne Carson

July, 2020
​Steps of Newton City Hall

​Euripides’ tragicomedy reunites siblings Orestes and Iphigenia in an unfamiliar and inhospitable new land. As the threat of death looms large, the pair must band together to protect and purify their family legacy.

The Witches is right around the corner!

The first show of our seventh season is sure to be the spookiest of the year-- just in time for Halloween!

Roald Dahl's eerie children's book is brought to life by David Wood's lively adaptation. When a young orphaned boy moves in with his grandmother and becomes aware of the existence of witches, he must do whatever it takes to stop these powerful beings-- including the Grand High Witch herself-- from eliminating all the children in England.

Appropriate for children ages six and up.
