Mandy, in addition to her shenanigans with Josie’s Magical Flute, is also a member of the Happier Family Show cast, and the longform troupe HATS. She delights in de-cluttering, right angles, National Parks and dogs. All of the dogs.

Julie is always grateful for the transformative power of laughter, and for the amazing talent of her sister Fluters. She performed standup comedy for 10 years, and ...then was a member of the former Villa Jidiots troupe for another 10 years. She regularly performs as a guest of the HaHa’s, is a member of the Majesters musical improv troupe, a member of the HATS longform troupe, and brings many characters to life in theater shows around the Pioneer Valley.

Sally Ekus is both producer and a cast member of the Happier FAMILY Comedy Show, a once a month improv show for kids and their families hosted by Happier Valley Comedy. When not eating tacos she can be found laminating bulleted lists, organizing her schedule, and checking things off her Todo list.

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!
