Saw our first production here recently and enjoyed it very much…read more We are pleased with the play selection, which is not pop-influenced, nor the done-to-death titles, etc. something more unusual, but quality just the same. We also recognized two of the actors from other local plays, and enjoyed seeing them in new and different roles. The theater itself is in an old church, which we learned was purchased by the Footlighters group. For us, we love theaters like this, where things are quirky and the focus goes to the production, not the sets or venue. For the benefit of others, I'll describe it a bit more since I know that is helpful to some people. Much of the original interior/exterior architectural features of the church remain intact which is cool to see, although the interior and exterior are in need of a little maintenance, which, clearly, they would probably do if they had the funding. One important safety item was outdoor lighting, especially when patrons are leaving to go to the unlit parking lot in the dark. The entrance is in the front of the building on Main St but the parking lot is off of Waterloo Ave in back, so it is a bit of a journey in the dark to get from A to B. We wrote to the theater about this and even offered to help install a light but never heard back. I am hopeful that word gets out about this place because it is an untapped venue, which many locals would probably love to frequent and enjoy! We live very nearby, just over the county line in Newtown Square, but ironically, after living here almost a decade, we only recently discovered this theater. One night, on our way home from Handel's, I happened to see the small signs for Footlighters, that were along Waterloo Ave. I looked them up when we got home. I never would have know about them otherwise. We use Funsavers all the time, and I have never seen Footlighters in there. I think they'd get tons more exposure if they occasionally advertised there. I know we would have found them MUCH sooner if they had. Just wish they could reach out to more people in our community to get the funding for more great shows and a little maintenance on the building to make it more hospitable (and keep the old charm of the place going strong). NOTE: Not sure why the Yelp category for this theater showed as "Cinema: but that is incorrect and should be changed since this if for live theater (play) performances.

I can't believe I have lived in this area for so many years and never went to the Newtown Theater…read more It's a pretty cool space with some unique events tucked away on State Street. They do have a bar area and a popcorn stand. I went for their 90 minute cat video event. During the preshow I learned that this is the oldest theater is America! How crazy is that! They have some fantastic shows coming up including many tribute bands as well as movie showings. I'm really hoping to get tickets see Joan Osborne singing the songs of Bob Dylan. If you haven't been here I'd definitely check out their website or Facebook page to see what they have going on that might be of interest,

Not only did we get to enjoy a night out in this charming town, but we also had the chance to be part of a place filled with history and character. Walking into the theatre felt like stepping back in time in the best way--warm, classic, and full of heart. The ambience was absolutely perfect. The cozy, intimate setting made the entire experience feel personal and inviting. From the moment we walked in, the energy was welcoming. The fresh-popped popcorn added that nostalgic movie-night touch, and the bartenders and staff members were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely happy to be there. Their hospitality made the night even better. We came to see The Ultimate Doors, and what a show! The sound, the vibe, and the atmosphere all came together to create a memorable night. It's rare to find a venue that feels both historic and alive, but Newtown Theatre gets it right. We would absolutely love to visit again. If you're thinking about catching a show here--do it. It's an experience you won't forget!

But then they started letting people in again? It was really confusing. I don't think their parking situation is very good. Wonderful production with some of the best voices I've heard on at a smaller venue. Sound quality is good. The Live band up on stage is really cool. Makes it great with the acoustics of the room. There were some points where I felt like maybe the mics weren't quite attached to the person's head correctly and it got a little too far away from their mouth. I think that's bound to happen when the actors are seen in dancing. Seats were pretty comfortable. It was super easy and quick to get in even though it was jampacked. Nice little courtyard where you can wait until they open up. The men's room is not my jam. I hate that pee trough instead of a urinal. Pretty cool that you can walk straight into the restaurant after the play. Perfectly centered in all the little shops. Next time, definitely wanna catch another show and make a day of it in this area.

This was my first time at this theater, and I loved the intimate setting. Every seat felt like a great seat. The set design and scene transitions were fantastic, and the talent on stage was absolutely shining. The audience participation was everything you'd hope for. People were shouting the classic one-liners, plus a few fun modern twists that had everyone laughing. The goodie bag with rice, a newspaper, and cards was such a fun touch! The best part came at the end when every attendee was invited on stage to "do the Time Warp" with the cast. It was organized, energetic, and so much fun! Frankie Grande was incredibly gracious, he met every fan outside afterward for photos and autographs, taking his time with each person. He was warm, sincere, and clearly grateful for everyone who came. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the theater staff. During "The Time Warp," a guest had a medical emergency. The house lights came on immediately, clear instructions were given, and within seconds, two doctors in the audience stepped in to help. The situation was handled with incredible professionalism and compassion. After a brief intermission, the show resumed, and we were later told that the guest was going to be OK, which was such a relief to hear. Thank you to the cast, crew, and staff for creating such a memorable and heartfelt night. I'll never forget it!

We got there 5 minutes before 8pm and were trying to find 2 seats together. There were mostly single seats but there was one 2 seats together in the corner right next to the entrance. They were marked 'for guests coming in late so as not to disturb the show'. We were pretty sure it would be fine and were about to take our seats when one of their attendants rudely stopped us saying we had to take 2 separate single seats. One seat was on the left and the other on the right across the room, how ridiculous!! My husband argued and finally she agreed, but on leaving, she said 'a--ho--! We were totally shocked at that outrageous language. We kept our cool and did not want to cause a scene. We have been going to numerous theatres in the suburbs, in Philadelphia, even Broadway and have never been treated like that or ever had such a horrible experience. This theatre is just a small, run-down, 'Mom & Pop' theatre with such uncomfortable hard chairs (wooden chairs covered with red cloth just to look nice). There is probably no backstage as the performers have to go back and forth through the entrance next to our seats. The stage is so small that the performers stand just about 2 feet away from the front row! This was our first and last patronage to this lousy theatre run by a 'no-class' management.
