The Newton Project introduces a lively collection of solo voices, including a soulful percussionist, an ex-convict auditioning for a play, an unemployed sailor, and an amateur float designer. This series of short plays, including The Big Bang, A Seamless Pitch, Birth of a Star, Stage Fright Pianologue, The 1st Dead Man in Grover’s Corners, Lizzie’s Lilliput and Reign in the Sterling Sphinxes, pays tribute to an unseen character by the name of Newton, a guiding force in the acceleration of unexpected theatrical moments. Written and directed by Wabash College theater professor Dwight Watson, The Newton Monologs, recently published by Contemporary Drama Service, premiered at Wabash with this performance.
