our mission

Our mission is to create excellent works of art in new ways 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. 

 At NTC, we are taking back the stage -centering the stories of women and people who have too long been marginalized. We are energized by the opportunity we have as artists to tell stories that explore all kinds of perspectives, cultures, and life experiences. Everybody's story encompasses a whole world. We love the wonderment of experiencing someone else's story. It's like encountering the world anew.

We love making theatre with children at Newton Theatre Kids, our after school program for students in grades 1-5. Our program invites participants to cultivate a love of theatre through acting, singing, dancing, and scenery making. Each session culminates in a family-friendly performance. 

We love being a part of the Newton Community. Through partnerships with other nonprofits, and the tradition of our annual Monologue Project, we are always looking for ways to connect with the folks who live, work, and go to school in our hometown. Do you have an idea for a partnership? Please be in touch!

 OUR ARTISTS

We are a creative home for artists of all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. Our work is richer when we embrace our different lived experiences and bring our whole selves to the creative process. 


OUR SHOWS

​We want to reflect the vastness and depth of what it means to be human. And we believe exploring humanity through different perspectives builds a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 


OUR FUTURE
​
We will continue to look into new ways to promote anti-racism throughout our organization. We believe every decision we make should be an anti-racist one, so we are committed to listening, learning, growing, and actively creating a welcoming community. We will not tolerate racism, discrimination, or harassment of any kind. Thank you for creating this community with us.

Come as you are. ​
