Talking with Tostan

Sunday, October 23, 2016, 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm
Tickets $10.00 at door

Tostan's Mission: We empower African communities to bring about sustainable development and positive social transformation based on respect for human rights. We believe that through this mission we can ensure every person—woman, man, girl, and boy—is able to live a life of dignity.

Come join us for a powerful hour of story telling with Tostan's Peace and Security Director, Mory Camara. Mory's leadership in the Peace and Security Initiative has been ground breaking in border conflict resolution and prevention. In fact, under his leadership, the program has resolved 1,500 local, family, and regional conflicts in West Africa.

The conversation will be moderated by Kathy LeMay, Founder and Co-Owner of Raising Change.

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!
