The Well Tempered Ukes

Friday, May 20, 2016, 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm
Tickets: $12 at the door (cash/check only). Box office opens at 6 pm.

The Well Tempered Ukes are Robin Hoffman, Marlene Wong, and Richard Perlmutter, a Western Massachusetts acoustic ukulele trio. Not your usual oldies band, they pluck, strum, harmonize and cover their way through Renaissance, parlor, pop, and art songs -- the great song hits of the last 500 years.

The group has recently returned from performing concerts throughout New England and at The Jalopy Theatre in New York City. This summer they will be featured artists at the Boston Ukulele Melee and The Southern New Hampshire Ukulele Festival. They also hold a residency at The Forbes Library in Northampton.

How fantastic to have had the Well Tempered Ukes at Jalopy! Please check them out when they come to your area! -- Lynette Wiley, Proprietor, Jalopy Theatre, Brooklyn, NY

Richard, Marlene and Robin are outstanding and versatile musicians with a friendly vibe and unique repertoire. Their original arrangements include sophisticated fusions of antique and popular music, with charm and humor. -- Faith Kaufmann, Head of Arts & Music, Forbes Library

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!
