The Shea Presents the debut of CINEMASTORM:

A new double feature film series curated by the mysterious Professor Robert J. McGuffin with a focus on fun, fantastic and forgotten films (at an affordable price)

And to kick off the series, the fan favorite:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show The 1975 Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon cult classic. Damn it, Janet! Come in costume. Bring toast to throw (but don’t hit our new screen!) and gear up for Halloween Transylvanian style. Presented in agreement with Criteron and Fox.

Tod Browning’s 1932 pre Motion Picture Censorship Code film, billed in it’s time as horror but as Professor McGuffin says “is an eerie, empathetic movie. A love story about circus ‘freaks’ and how we, the people who judge and misunderstand them, may be the freaks. It’s a brave movie and leaves a big impression.”

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!
