Synopsis

In Santa Mira, California, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) is baffled when all his patients come to him with the same complaint: their loved ones seem to have been replaced by emotionless impostors. Despite others' dismissive denials, Dr. Bennell, his former girlfriend Becky (Dana Wynter) and his friend Jack (King Donovan) soon discover that the patients' suspicions are true: an alien species of human duplicates, grown from plant-like pods, is taking over the small town.

The Golem: How He Came into the World
Oct

7:00 PM19:00

The Golem: How He Came into the World

Come be transported back to the early 20th century when the historic Newtown Theatre presents “The Golem: How He Came into the World” (1920).

This spooky silent movie screening will be accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema Orchestra – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films.

“The Golem: How He Came into the World” is a German silent horror film and a leading example of the early German Expressionism. Director Paul Wegener, who co-wrote the script based on Gustav Meyrink's 1915 novel, stars as the titular creature, a being in Jewish folklore created from clay.

“The Golem: How He Came into the World” is the third of three films that Wegener made featuring the golem, the other two being “The Golem” (1915) and “The Golem and the Dancing Girl” (1917). “The Golem: How He Came into the World” is a prequel to “The Golem” and, as the only one of the three films that has not been lost, is the best known of the series.

Prior to the mid-1920s, all movies were silent, and dialogue was transmitted through mute gestures, mime and title cards, which contained a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. For added effect, silent films were often accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

Founded in 2012, A Love for Life is a non-profit organization that has raised more than $1 million for pancreatic cancer research at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. The average survival rate for stage IV pancreatic cancer is a little over six months, and A Love for Life is determined to change that.

Charlie Chaplin's Silent Shorts
Sep

8:00 PM20:00

Charlie Chaplin's Silent Shorts

Come be transported back to the early 20th century when the historic Newtown Theatre presents “Charlie Chaplin’s Silent Shorts” on Thursday, September 11 at 8:00 p.m. This special event will feature several of Chaplin’s silent films accompanied by Not So Silent Cinema Orchestra – a chamber music ensemble that performs live music to silent films.

The three films being screened that day include “The Cure” (1917), “The Adventurer” (1917), and “The Pawnshop” (1916).

Prior to the mid-1920s, all movies were silent, and dialogue was transmitted through mute gestures, mime and title cards, which contained a written indication of the plot or key dialogue. For added effect, silent films were commonly accompanied by musicians who provided a live score in the movie house. The Newtown Theatre, which showed its first film in 1906, was one of these places.

TICKET POLICIES

  • Any tickets not sold before the show will be available at the door for $32.

  • You can present a hard copy of your tickets or the QR code on your phone.

  • Members may not purchase tickets for non-members. Those presenting member tickets will have membership verified at the door.

CANCELLED: The Newtown Black & White Dinner

TONIGHT’S BLACK & wHITE dINNER IS CANCELLED

Tonight’s Newtown Black & White Dinner must be cancelled due to the (ever-changing) weather forecast. You can imagine how difficult of a call this was to make. We've been scrutinizing weather reports for the last 48 hours, waiting as long as we could to see if predictions would improve.

As many of you know, our tradition is to hold the dinner “rain or shine,” but there's a huge difference between a sprinkle and a downpour. We expect thunderstorms and pouring rain while we set up, which could possibly continue during the event. We simply can’t take the risk of putting our guests and staff in harm’s way.

Ticketholders, please check your email now for further details.
