Walking Tour: Great Performers at Newton Cemetery
Event description
Join us at Newton Cemetery to see the final resting places of some of Hollywood’s finest actors, performers, and musicians. Learn about Josephine Hull, who originated the role of Abby Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace”; B.F. Keith, the father of American Vaudeville; Arnold Stang, a Golden Age actor whose career spanned more than 40 years; and others. At each stop we’ll watch clips and hear recordings to see their work come alive.
Most tours last approximately 1 hour. We go at an easy pace and typically cover around 1 mile. We encourage you to wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle. All ages welcome!
Tour dates and topics are subject to change. The meeting location for each walking tour will be shared after registration.
Historic Newton’s walking tours are sponsored by Newton-Wellesley Hospital.
