Newtown Theatre Teams Up With ArtWRKD For "The Art Of The Speakeasy"

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — One of Newtown’s newest businesses and one of its oldest are teaming up to create “The Art of the Speakeasy,” a special event being held on November 19 that combines art, cocktails, dessert, live music and a speakeasy burlesque show.

The special event mashup begins at 7 p.m. with a cocktail party at ArtWRKD art consortium, Newtown’s newest art space, located at 126 S. State Street in Newtown. At ArtWRKD, guests will enjoy mingling, specialty cocktails, dessert, live artist demonstrations, and the opportunity to purchase gallery pieces.

Starting at 8:30, guests can begin making their way down State Street to the historic Newtown Theatre. In true speakeasy spirit, guests will enter the theatre through the backdoor after giving a secret password.

Once inside, they will enjoy a cash bar, live music by Drew Nugent & the Midnight Society and several acts, including a Roaring ‘20s burlesque show that begins at 9:30.

Tickets for the evening are limited and are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com/events for $50 per person.
