Thank you so much for being there for Newton Theatre Company this year– for logging on to our Zoom shows, for supporting us with your generosity and enthusiasm. Our small company needed to keep performing, it’s what we do, and we were so lucky to have an audience to perform to.” As Newton Theatre Company embarks on its first in-person, outdoor show– the last show of our 2020-2021 season – we want you to know how much we appreciate you, our wonderful audience. Stay tuned for an exciting 2021-2022 season featuring a mix of in-person and streamed productions. And for those local folks, we’ll see you at the Hyde Bandshell!
