We pledge to use our art as a united act of resistance and solidarity. Artists and staff are donating their time and talents so all proceeds can benefit asylum seekers and families in the current border crisis. Donations raised by this event will be sent to RAICES, Immigrant Families Together, and Pioneer Valley Workers Center, organizations working to #CloseTheCamps.

The 413 may be far away from the Mexico/U.S. border geographically, but we members of the Pioneer Valley arts community recognize the need for local action.

The line-up will be announced over the course of the next two weeks. Tickets will be priced from $10-$1,000 pay what you can. Please remember this is a fundraiser and purchase your ticket at the donation level you can. No one will be turned away.

This event is presented by TheatreTruck.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

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 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

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!
