Shea Presents Presents: Sasha and the Valentines for Quarantunes

In the wake of Covid-19 show cancellations, your favorite venues and arts hubs in the 413 have come together to create an online concert series because now the show must go on…line.

** Please consider supporting the artists by donating a tip on Venmo to program coordinator @emmaayres or PayPal to sheatheaterartscenter@gmail.com. Funds will be dispersed to performer with a minute portion of proceeds going to the Shea Theater Arts Center.

If you organize your records by sound, Sasha and the Valentines fit warmly between Mazzy Star and La Luz. Melding experiences ranging from scholar parents to childhood friendships to being a first-generation American, the richly unique backgrounds of each member influence and create a surf, synthpop sound that brilliantly weaves Addi’s floating, ethereal vocals into the mix as an added texture; a sound sometimes waxing nostalgic, but always dense with fresh originality.

-Taylor Wallace, Host/Producer, KUTX 98.9

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!
