#GivingTuesday Shea LIQUID-ation Drive-Buy Sale

Tuesday, May 5, 2020, 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm
A gift to the Shea gets you a beer or wine from Fake Astronaut Monte. Yes, we are serious.

The Shea is participating in the global movement, #GIVINGTUESDAY2020. Now, more than ever, we must come together to support each other. When the news of Covid-19 led to a massive hault across our country, theaters were among the first to close. Due to the complications of how the virus spreads, theaters will be among the last to re-open. The Shea needs your help! Please remember our beloved theater on Giving Tuesday so that we can get through this tough time and stand strong for years to come.

Since the Shea continues to march to the beat of its own drum, we also have Giving Tuesday gifts for YOU between 2:00 and 5:00PM on May 5, 2020!

Any gift on Giving Tuesday leads to a present from Major Tom: Board President Monte Belmonte.

What do we do with the leftover wine in our shuttered theater? Monte knows!

WHAT YOU DO: Make a gift of at least $20.00 to the SheaPal account on #GivingTuesday from your safe mobile bunker. If you can, try to distinguish RED, WHITE, or CIDER or BEER in the MEMO section. First come, First serve.

WHAT MONTE DOES: Delivers you a curbside bottle of red or white wine or a 4-pack of beer between 2:00-5:00 while supplies last. First come, first serve. He will be dressed as a Fake Astronaut, but with a real face shield, helmet, and gloves.

WHERE: Ground Control (ahem...The Shea entrance. 71 Avenue A TFMA 01376)

We found a LOOPHOLE in the Commonwealth’s new to-go beer and wine law, and it gave us a CovIdea.

We teamed up with our friends at LOOPHOLE Brewing! We offer you a tiny bag of popcorn and a whole bottle of red or white wine or a 4-pack of LOOPHOLE beer as a thanks for your support.

Thanks to Loophole for the loophole! And to Headwater Cider for their support! And Dean's Beans for sponsoring our LIQUID-ation sale. And Monte for his love of ridiculous publicity stunts.

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!
