Weekend Attractions: The Cure, Family Improv Coming To Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA – The historic Newtown Theatre is gearing up for another big weekend of events.

On Saturday night, Feb. 24 "The Gathering Gloom" presents "A Tribute to the Cure" beginning at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. the curtain goes up on "Afternoon of Family Improv."

Tribute To The Cure

"The Gathering Gloom" is widely acclaimed for delivering the sound, feel and vibe of a live Cure concert. Concertgoers will get the songs, lights, fog, hair and lipstick they expect while enjoying the Cure’s greatest hits and some deep cuts for die-hard fans.

They played to a sold out show and to rave reviews at the theatre in Feb. 2023.

The Gathering Gloom presents "A Tribute to the Cure."

Tickets are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $37 per person or $32 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $47 at the door on the night of the show (if available). All seating is general admission.

Beer, wine, and canned cocktails will be available for purchase at the theatre before and during both shows.

Family Improv At The Theatre

On Sunday, Feb 25 the theatre will host a family friendly improv comedy show at 3 p.m. “Making it Up: An Afternoon of Family Improv” is a fast-paced, no-safety-net, tight-rope walk of a show that has no script and is completely made up on the spot.

During Sunday's Improv show, every element is inspired by suggestions from the audience. The result is a gloriously screen-free experience for the entire family that is filled with silliness and

infectious laughter.

Led by Bucks County based Unscripted Productions, the show will consist of a variety of games, scenes and scenarios that will get volunteers up on stage – kids and adults alike. Recommended for anyone age five to 105.

Tickets for "An Afternoon of Family Improv" are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $27 per person or $17 for theatre members and children 12 and under. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $37 at the door for everyone on the day of the show (if available). All seating is general admission.

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