A play about the magic of moments, and the transience of tales (/tails).

One day, on the shore of somewhere else, a girl tells her friend that she is a mermaid, and it is true. From the Sea, To Somewhere Else takes us on a journey with the friend (Jack) and the mermaid (Morissa) as they both search for who and what it is they want to be and try to return Morissa to the sea.

Hot air balloon pirates!
Villainous hand model assassins!
Snarky train conductors!
Magic that is real if you only believe, whether you can see it or not.

The North Star Players present this fantastic journey, driven by belief and honesty rather than by gimmicks or special effects, and invite you to join us for the adventure. Our troupe is made up of teenage homeschoolers who have been training this year in ensemble theatre, and we are delighted to bring this enchanting script to life. Written by Monica Giordano. Directed by Ellen Morbyrne & Rachel Hall. Featuring actors: Fares Croteau, Anwyn Dickinson, Emily Dixson, Ivy Dunn-Fyler, Anani Eisenstein-Bond, Eva Harding-Morick, Hannah Matica, Lane Moore, Sabrina Raimondi, and Persephone Sarantidis.

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!
