The Holidays are On!

Celebrate with the Newport Playhouse! 

Due to the significant damage the Newport Playhouse & Cabaret Restaurant sustained during Hurricane Ida, we are grateful to the Wyndham Hotel and Johnny’s Restaurant for hosting the Newport Playhouse and allowing us to relocate during our busy holiday season. Our holiday production will take place at The Wyndham and our buffet lunch will be provided by their onsite restaurant, Johnny’s. Preview the buffet menu here

During lunch, The Newport Playhouse cast will entertain you with the hilariously funny farce “Santa’s Murder Mystery” written by Mr. Matt Siravo himself! Following the show, The Playhouse will proudly present our exclusive world premiere of “The Newport Playhouse Holiday Cabaret Spectacular”. We look forward to hosting you starting November 17th at The Wyndham with food, laughter, and entertainment and while it may not be in our cozy theater, we all know and love, it will always be…The Newport Playhouse way. Come and enjoy!
