Life // Death // Life.

Peter McLean is proud to produce this 22-member ensemble performance and farewell fundraiser for Of Earth and Soul and its relocation across the country to Sandpoint ID. The show is a 3-act, highly experiential, deep dive into the gift and responsibility of having breath in our lungs. Come. Bring your beauty. Bring your life, your identity, your grip on reality, at whatever phase of growth or decay it may be in. You, and who you are becoming, are welcome here.

This show lands on the eve of Peter's 5-day voyage across the country to his new home, new community, and new family (!) after having lived here for almost 13 years. He's bringing Of Earth and Soul with him out to the mountains and rivers of Idaho's panhandle where he'll continue to see the best in people, support their healing, and call them more deeply into their gifts. Let's send Pete and the relocation Of Earth and Soul off lavishly supported! The goal is $22,000. Funds raised are going to produce the Life // Death // Life show, support the 2700 mile move, provide 2 more months of operating expenses, produce and edit a 10-episode podcast and the required equipment, and contribute to a month-long training intensive on guiding groups into soul and nature connection.

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!
