Newtown Theatre Bringing Grammar Docu-Comedy To The Stage

NEWTOWN, PA — The historic Newtown Theatre will screen the hit docu-comedy “Rebel with a Clause” on Saturday, February 28 at 12:30 p.m. Following the film, both the star and director of the movie will be available for a Q&A and will sell and sign books.

In "Rebel With A Clause," grammar guru Ellen Jovin takes her pop-up “Grammar Table” on an epic road trip across all 50 states to show that comma fights can bring us closer together in a divided time.

One fall day, Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said, “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend.

Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. People from every imaginable background visited the table to share a laugh, settle disputes, and talk about their grammar insecurities.

But this story transcends grammar. It’s the story of an epic quest to bring us all closer together. In a time of social and political division, the Grammar Table is a place of unity and connection. The conversations at the table help answer the question “How can we all get along?”

Come for the grammar. Stay for the humanity.

Tickets are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $20 per person or $15 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $30 at the door on the day of the event (if available). All seating is general admission.
