On February 4, 1864, abolitionist Frederick Douglass visited Newtown and spoke at the theatre (which used to be called Newtown Hall). On February 4, 2025 – exactly 161 years later – the theatre will welcome nationally acclaimed Frederick Douglass impersonator Darius Wallace to deliver “Frederick Douglass! The Lion of Freedom."

The show begins with Wallace talking about himself and his own journey out of the streets and his childhood struggle with reading. Inspired by his father to read the life stories of great men like Frederick Douglass, his life was transformed. As the show progresses, Wallace transforms into Frederick Douglass, portraying several characters of influence on Douglass's life through song, speeches, monologue, and poetry.

Tickets for this once in a lifetime show are available on our website (see the comments for a link).

Sorry for the late notice, but electricity on parts of State Street in Newtown has been out for a few hours and it doesn't look like we'll be able to screen tonight's movie, "Little Women." We were hoping it would be back on by now, but PECO is not giving us a restoration time. We are rescheduling the film to 7:30 tomorrow (Sunday, 12/29). We hope you can make it. Sorry again for the late notice.
