Laudable Prodctions Presents: Barbes in the Woods

Saturday, August 17, 2019, 1:00 pm until 11:00 pm
Sponsored in part by the Shea Theater, Eggtooth Productions, and Fine House. PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE ON BARTLETT FARM: 27 Center St, Montague, MA 01351.

Barbès is the little bar that could in Brooklyn. Over the past two decades it has incubated and gestated some of New York's most creative music projects. The tiny venue only seats 60 and hosts more than 700 performances a year.

This Summer, we're celebrating the iconic bar in our own neck of the woods. It's going to be the quintessential backyard festival — the sort of thing you’ve always wanted in the middle of your summer — on a pristine tract of historic farmland in Western Massachusetts.

Exciting News for A Happening V: The Bestiary

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received generous grants from the Mass Cultural Council as well as the Community Foundation of Western MA to support our 2025 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening V: The Bestiary.”

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 50 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by Aesop's Fables, George Orwell's Animal Farm, newly imagined cautionary tales, and creature myths of all origins.

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!
