Join us for a special day of Earth Music Theater Live on May 31st at 4:00 PM.

This multidisciplinary program combines the unforgettable experience of astronaut-captured visuals from the International Space Station with Steve Thomas’ genre straddling music and author and former NASA astronaut Cady Coleman sharing videos and inspiring stories from her book Sharing Space - An Astronaut’s Guide to Mission, Wonder and Making Change.

EMTL is a cinematic, multimedia, educational experience, designed to provoke thinking about the whole Earth and planetary stewardship.

Thomas shares, “This show concept is an extension of my collaborative work with Dan Barstow, Director of EarthMusicTheater.org, the Association of Space Explorers (ASE), and NASA’s Crew Earth Observation program which showcases stunning astronaut photography provided by NASA.”

This unique performance is brought to you with support from the local cultural councils of Charlemont-Hawley, Conway, Greenfield, and Sunderland, the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, and the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts
