Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a membership last?
Regardless of the date of purchase, all 2023 memberships are valid from January 1 through December 31, 2023 and expire on January 1, 2024. All 2024 memberships are valid from January 1 through December 31, 2024 and expire on January 1, 2025.
I’m having trouble seeing the full membership form.
We strongly recommend completing the form on a desktop or laptop computer instead of a phone. If you use an iPad or a similar tablet, you should be able to see the full form by turning the device so that it’s in portrait (vertical) mode rather than landscape (horizontal). If you’re using a desktop, laptop or tablet and you’re still having trouble, please contact us.
WheN WILL i RECEIVE MY MEMBERSHIP CARD?
Due to high mailing costs, we no longer mail membership cards. You can pick up your card at the box office while attending any upcoming event. If you already have a card from a prior year, bring it with you and we will put a “2024” sticker on it during your next visit. Note that the theatre is usually not open when there is no event happening
Can I fill out a paper form? Can I pay with a check or cash?
We no longer accept checks or cash for membership payment. This is because we have so many folks to keep track of, and cash or checks do not create an electronic trail we can follow if there is a problem with your payment. All Newtown Theatre memberships must be initiated or renewed on our website. You can pay with a credit card or your PayPal account.
how do i purchase discounted CONCERT tickets?
When you purchase tickets for any upcoming concert, you’ll see a ticket type called “Newtown Theatre Members.” You can use this ticket type to purchase tickets for yourself and the other person/people named on your membership card. Please refrain from purchasing members-only tickets for guests who are not members. Every person who presents a member ticket at the door will be asked to present a valid membership card.
HOW DOES THE FAMILY LEVEL WORK?
This membership level reflects the increased the amount of family-friendly programming at the Newtown Theatre. A Family membership is valid for two adults and up to three young people (under age 18) living in the same household. Each family member receives the same membership benefits. Family membership benefits cannot be extended to friends or family at a different address.
What happens after I purchase a membership?
You’ll receive a receipt via email for your membership. The next time you’re at the theatre for an event, you’ll be able to pick up your 2024 membership card. If you already have a card, bring it with you and we will put a “2024” sticker on it during your next visit. Remember you’ll need to show your card to our staff every time you use your membership benefits at the theatre or when presenting members-only tickets.
How do I give someone a gift membership?
We do not offer gift memberships.
I lost my membership card.
Contact us and let us know the name(s) on your membership, and we’ll produce a replacement card.
How will I know when it's time to renew?
We will send you a reminder email at the email address you give us when you register.
Is my membership tax-deductible?
Yes, all memberships are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
I am a subscriber to the Newtown Arts Company. Does that mean I have a Newtown Theatre membership?
The Newtown Arts Company puts on numerous musicals and plays each year at the Newtown Theatre but is a separate entity from the Newtown Theatre itself.
Members of the Newtown Theatre receive free popcorn at all Newtown Arts Company shows, but Newtown Arts Company subscriptions are not connected to the Newtown Theatre membership program in any way.
