Sunday, March 24, 2019, 3:30 pm
It is spring cleaning time and the Shea needs your help! Calling all Shea members, friends, and lovers of the Shea for a big purging party with a community potluck and free show by local legends Fancy Trash

COME ONE, COME ALL TO TRASH DAY AT THE SHEA!

HERE'S THE PLAN:

1. Everyone arrives at 3:30pm and meets in the front lobby. Facilitated by the illustrious Linda Tardif and some incredible board members, we will divide and conquer to clean up the Shea. Who knows what kind of interesting things we will unearth in it's mysterious chambers. LET'S FILL THE DUMPSTER!

2. At 5:30pm we will break for a community potluck! Please RSVP to the event with the dish you're bringing so everyone has an idea of what's on the menu. We will set up a big table on the "dance floor" of the theater and we can all eat and be merry!

3. At 6:30pm, our fierce folk rocker friends in Fancy Trash will be playing a *FREE* set and we will be pouring beer and wine for sale at the bar!

Fancy Trash

Fancy Trash works the line between rock and folk, blending a non-traditional sensibility with the tradition of acoustic instruments to make something unique. Folk-tinged indie rock. Don’t let the acoustic instruments fool you, Fancy Trash is a rock band. Dave Houghton (vocals, guitars), Paul Kochanski (upright bass) and Jason Smith (drums) explore new ways to bring out the folk for the anti-folk.

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!
