“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald
Autumn arrives this weekend, and our long stretch of warm sunny weather has come to an end. Cool air, clouds and rain are on their way to confirm that.
But we need the rain. And Newton has an abundance of activities and events to keep your spirits high.
Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.

At 8 p.m., the Newton Theatre Company will perform “The Guys,” a play about two people in New York two weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, processing what happened and dealing with grief. If you can’t make this showing, there are performances on Saturday too.
