e are excited to announce that via the miracle of video, Welcome Yule 2020 is happening!

We have selected a collection of entertaining performances from 30 years past, all the way back to 1991, to produce this year’s video show. Some new versions of songs and poetry, safely recorded by WY cast members at home, enhance the show. But this year you, your friends and family, far and near, will be able to enjoy watching Welcome Yule 2020 from anywhere in the world during the coldest time of the northern hemisphere.

In conjunction with the Shea Theater Art Center, the video will be shown on December 11, & 12th at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 13th at 2p.m. – save the dates!

Tickets are $5-$100 sliding scale and will benefit both the Welcome Yule and Shea Theater Directly. In these hard times ever dollar goes a long way.

Please make sure you include your email address when you purchase the tickets. You will receive the performance viewing link via email on the day of the performance with detailed information.

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!
