THE MONOLOGUE PROJECt

 "If The Monologue Project existed when I was a kid it would have changed my life for the better.  Your work matters."
             - Participant in The Monologue Project: LGBTQ+ Voices
​
Newton Theatre Company's The Monologue Project is an initiative that seeks to bring the community together through the power of personal storytelling. Each production highlights a different community group in Newton, creating a space for individuals to share their authentic selves. Newton Theatre Company celebrates the power of monologues to connect people and promote empathy. 

We start with one prompt: Tell us your story.

Land Acknowledgement ​

We acknowledge that Newton, Massachusetts is on the traditional homelands of the  Massachusett Indigenous Peoples.

The name Massachusetts comes from the Massachusett language term for "At the Great Hill," referring to the Blue Hills overlooking Boston Harbor from the south.

The Indigenous Nations that belong to this land are known as  the Aquinnah Wampanoag, Mashpee Wampanoag, Ponkapoag, Stockbridge Munsee Mohican Nation and Nimuc.We respect and recognize it is a privilege to be living on these lands as guests.

​We acknowledge the trauma experienced over centuries to the Indigenous Peoples who live on these lands and continue to face injustice. We honor with gratitude those peoples who have stewarded this land. We also acknowledge that these lands are sacred to generations yet to be born.

Thanks to our Donors
