The Newton Community Theatre will unveil their latest production with a special performance tonight. The play “Three Viewings” by Jeffrey Hatcher will be performed the next two weeks, with 7 p.m. shows this Friday and Saturday, as well as Thursday, February 26th, and Saturday, February 28th.  2 p.m. performances are scheduled for Sunday, February 22nd, and Sunday, March 1st. Tickets can be purchased online at the Newton Community Theatre website. But tonight at 7 p.m., play Director Sue Beukema says there is a special “Come As You Are, Pay What You Can” performance.

“If somebody has small children and they want to come see a show, if they are autistic and don’t like loud noises, if money is an issue,  you just come and watch and leave when you need to leave. If you see just a little portion of it and enjoy it, that’s just great.”

Three Viewings is a collection of three interconnected, comedic monologues set in a small-town funeral parlor. The main characters are the undertaker, a jewel thief, and a widow who discovers her husband’s secrets. 

The Newton Community Theatre is located in the Newton YMCA at 1701 South 8th Avenue East.
