The classic! Beloved by children down through the generations. But can PaintBox do it with just a cast of three. Oh, we’ve lined up great actors: Jasmine Jiles (Grace - Grace for President), Connor Paradis (Jim Hawkins - Treasure Island) and Linda Tardif (Raggedy - Raggedy Anne) but how are they ever going to play all of the characters. Jasmine is playing Dorothy. That will keep her busy the whole show. So, Linda and Connor are planning share all of the rest including the Cowardly Lion, Tinnie, Scarecrow, the Wizard, Glenda, The Wicked Witch, Auntie Em, not to mention Toto, winged monkeys, and all those munchkins. How will we do it? The way we do everything at PaintBox with creativity, cleverness and, of course, lots of help from the audience. Be prepared: you are playing the munchkins. How will we drop a house from the sky? You’ll have to come and see. This whole wonderful adventure is adapted and directed by our Artistic Director, Tom McCabe.

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!
