The historic Newtown Theatre will present its second annual Thanksgiving weekend tribute to singer-songwriter John Prine on Saturday, November 25 at 8:00 PM.
“Boundless Love: A Tribute to John Prine” will include The Handsome Johnnys as the house band (Hezekiah Jones on keys, Brad Hinton on guitar, Phil D’Agostino on bass, Bob Beach on harmonica, and Daniel S. Bower on drums) and a host of special guests, including Chelsea Mitchell, Paul Wilkinson, Amber Rae, Brian Dale Allen Strouse, Dylan Zangwill, and Jack Murray!
Prine, a two-time Grammy winner who is widely considered one of the greatest folk singer-songwriters of all time, passed away in 2020 at the age of 73. He was known for his raspy voice, simple guitar strumming, and his heartfelt, cutting and often hilarious lyrics. After a 13-year gap, Prine released what turned out to be his final album, “The Tree of Forgiveness,” in 2018.
Online tickets are $32 per person or $27 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $42 at the door on the night of the show (if available).
All seating is general admission.
HISTORIC RENOVATION FEE
In the summer of 2024, the historic Newtown Theatre will undertake Phase II of its master renovation plan, which includes renovating our balcony and expanding and improving our basement restrooms. To help pay for these exciting upgrades, we have implemented a $2 historic renovation fee on every ticket of $15 or more. This fee is just one part of an overall plan to raise the $600,000 required to make these upgrades. Thank you for supporting your historic hometown theatre!
