Greenfield Center School Presents: One Act Plays

Tuesday, May 21, 2019, 6:30 pm
6:30 PM. Tickets by donation at the door.

For the past 25 years, Center School 8th graders have written one-act plays and then spent two months directing their classmates’ performance of their work. This year’s class has produced 16 short plays.

There are comic pieces involving gay yodelers, a befuddled ninety-year-old policemen, escaped convicts, and garlic. There is a play in which Vermont tries to secede from the union. There is a musical about love among Parisian paperboys that features dancing French bakers. There are serious plays that try to sort out the issues of love and of how to best help a friend. And of course there’s an assassin who falls in love with the person they are supposed to kill.

Don’t you think that it would be sad for you to miss the 25 year old asking him mother to cut the crusts from his sandwich and the 40 year old matron who crumbles while trying to dab.

Exciting News for A Happening V: The Bestiary

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received generous grants from the Mass Cultural Council as well as the Community Foundation of Western MA to support our 2025 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening V: The Bestiary.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 50 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by Aesop's Fables, George Orwell's Animal Farm, newly imagined cautionary tales, and creature myths of all origins.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
