ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: This year’s Welcome Yule features a wide-ranging collection of videos culled from shows throughout our 35 year history. We have included, as our logo says, music, dance, songs, and stories to drive the dark away. As many cast members as possible have been integrated into this compilation of productions staged from 1991 to 2018.

You will see cast members who were in one show and some who were in 30 shows. You’ll see people grow from children into teens and beyond. One mother/daughter combination has now added a third generation, and you’ll see all three of them. The quality of the videos varies widely - recording technology from 30 years ago was not as good as it is now. We have compensated as best we can and we think you’ll really enjoy singing along, laughing and celebrating with us, as ever.

We trust that Welcome Yule: A Midwinter Celebration 2021 will warm your hearts and bring you hope for a much better year to come.

Wassail,

Jinny, Rita, and Alan.

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!
