At The Newtown Theatre: 'Beatles' On The Porch, 'Hard Days Night' Inside

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, Pa. — Beatlemania is coming to downtown Newtown on Sunday, July 10 with a free concert on the porch at the historic Newtown Theatre.

In 1969, The Beatles played an unannounced concert on a London rooftop. The historic Newtown Theatre will try to create a similar experience with a free, 30-minute “Beatles on the Porch” concert beginning at 6:30 p.m.

During the concert, North State Street in front of the theatre will be temporarily closed to traffic and the local band, "The Limit," will play a variety of Beatles’ songs – all in the open air on the theatre’s porch. The public is invited to attend.

Following the concert, the theatre will screen “A Hard Day’s Night” at 7:30 p.m. The rock-and-roll movie classic marked The Beatles’ feature film debut. Shot in a mock-documentary style, the film portrays 36 hours in the lives of John, Paul, George, and Ringo as they prepare for a television performance.

The movie is part of the theatre’s Harris Comfort Classic Movie Series. Tickets for the movie are $10 for the public and free for theatre members and are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com or at the box office on the night of the event.

The theatre is located at 120 N. State Street in Newtown Borough. For the latest news about the Newtown Theatre visit TheNewtownTheatre.com.
