Tickets are $15.00 Adv/ $20.00 Door. Presented by novelist, poet, songwriter, risk taker and storyteller: David Bulley.
A night of raucous, raunchy, hilarious, poignant, heartfelt stories by some of the best storytellers on the east coast. Hosted by Dan Foley, a Boston area juggler, comedienne, performer extraordinaire and performed by four amazing storytellers, this will be a night you pee yourself laughing, but one you will think about in quiet moments for months afterward. Most storytelling concerts and contests have themes. The theme for this evening is “Danger” and, while children are welcome, its not for the faint of heart! Ask the wizard for some courage, but don’t worry. It will be dark enough so they won't see you shiver.

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!
