The Thunderballs are a roots reggae band featuring NL Dennis, one of Jamaica's finest singer songwriters. Dennis (as he likes to be called) is a staple of the Western Jamaica music scene. Returning to New England for his second season, Dennis sings his catchy, uptempo reggae songs like nobody else, though his vocal style is often compared to iconic reggae vocalists Jimmy Cliff and Toots Hibbert. Accompanying himself on rock-solid rhythm guitar, Dennis is backed a top-notch ensemble of Brattleboro-area musicians, including Joel Eisenkramer on bass and backing vocal, and Peter Eisenkramer, bandleader, arranger and keyboard player. The Thunderballs deliver a show full of original and classic reggae tunes, played in a lively danceable classic reggae style.

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!
