In 2011, after a major restoration, the historic Newton Theatre re-opened its doors as a 605 seat performing arts center in the heart of Sussex County, NJ. For more than two years it has presented a multitude of live performances with diverse programming, including world-renowned music acts, comedians, family shows and much more, in an intimate setting. Iconic performers such as Judy Collins, Lyle Lovett, Kansas, Arlo Guthrie, Jon Anderson, Todd Rundgren and The Glenn Miller Orchestra have all graced the stage.
The Newton Theatre has brought back a vitality to downtown Newton and Sussex County, as only the arts can. And with its historic charm and world-class entertainment it has become NJ Skylands’ premier entertainment venue.
