Newton Theatre Kids’ registration now open

Registration for Newton Theatre Kids’ winter show, Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun, is now open!

Newton Theatre Kids (NTK) is an exciting opportunity for children in grades 2-5 to explore and cultivate a love of theater. The highly experienced staff provides a nurturing environment in which kids can feel comfortable and confident while expressing themselves through acting, singing, dancing, and scenery-making. At the end of each session, families are invited to watch their children perform a fully staged and costumed production specifically tailored to the program. Whether your child dreams of being a thespian or simply wants to try something new, NTK has a place for them.

To register your child or learn more about the program, please visit https://www.newtontheatrecompany.com/kids.html
