The Final Act

Final Curtain New Year's Eve poster, December 31, 2026

After 43 Incredible Years

After 43 unforgettable years, The Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant will take its final bow on December 31, 2026.

But we’re not finished yet!

We still have shows to perform, meals to share, laughter to enjoy and memories to make.

Since 1983, you have made the Newport Playhouse more than a theater—you made it a family. We are incredibly grateful to every guest, performer, employee and friend who has been part of our story.

Please join us during these final months. Come see a show. Bring an old friend. Laugh with us again.

Thank you for believing in “The Little Theater That Could.”

We’ll see you at the Playhouse!

Manhattan art dealers Barbara and David see their peaceful lives upended when Barbara’s straight-laced sister, uptight CPA brother-in-law, and outspoken mother arrive on a mission to rescue their college-aged daughter from her free-spirited lifestyle. Family tensions—and plenty of laughs—escalate when Mom unexpectedly connects with an eccentric elderly artist in this hilarious Broadway comedy.
