SKYPAC describes Creedence Revived as “the world’s premier CCR tribute,” a band selling out shows globally and delivering “an electrifying recreation of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s iconic catalog.” If you grew up on Creedence Clearwater Revival, this is the January night to circle. A mid-January Friday concert in a 1920s theater on Spring Street is also an easy date night or a way to get out of the house after the holidays.
The show page and the events list both list Friday, January 15. Individual show pages on the SKYPAC site sometimes carry older copy, so treat the events list as the main schedule and confirm the date and time on skypac.org before you buy.

About The Newton Theatre
The Newton Theatre has been part of downtown Newton for a century. According to the SKYPAC history page, William Houghton built it in January 1923 as a stadium-type theater that could accommodate 1,000 patrons, and it officially opened on May 15, 1924. Over the decades it ran as a movie house, closed and reopened several times, and in September 2011 it reopened with a Todd Rundgren concert, with a capacity of 605. Today it is operated by Skylands Performing Arts Center (SKYPAC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission, per its website, is “providing programs that educate, entertain and inspire all audiences.”
