A One night Pop- Up Chess Club and Immersive Experience. $10.00 ADV/ $15.00 DOOR
???#gettotheshea on Saturday, February 4th, for Charley’s Tropical Bar & Chess Club: a pop-up & immersive experience from @eggtoothproductions
Welcome to Charley’s - a cozy, one-night-only escape from your present-day cares. Featuring an evening of beer, wine, and tropical non-alcoholic drinks, dreamy music, cozy meetings over chess games - and, for the adventurous - an unexpected journey into the mind of its owner.
Charley, the friendly but quiet founder, hopes you’ll join him for tropical drinks in his retro bar, highlighted with chess boards and invitations to meet others over a casual game. It’s in a time before cell phones, so enjoy the escape from those objects, too, for the night.
if you wish, you may spend their evening around the bar and its many offerings. But for those that are out for a little adventure, a puzzle lives in the space that, when solved, sends you on a special escapade that connects you more closely to Charley.

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!
