The Town of Montague and Franklin Regional Council of Governments invites Turners Falls businesses and organizations to a gathering on: Monday, Tuesday, January 14 at 5:00 pm at the Shea Theater Arts Center, 71 Avenue A, Turners Falls

Using a state grant, a team of consultants, led by BSC Group, was hired to figure out how the downtown business communities in Turners Falls, Shelburne Falls, and Northfield Center can be supported, and examined different organizational models that could provide this capacity. The consultant will be presenting their findings and recommendations of a sustainable model to provide administrative capacity necessary to implement initiatives to maintain vibrant downtown in these three communities.

Light refreshments will be provided.

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!
