Shea Presents: A Virtual Album Release With Daniel Hales

Available through May 7! 7:30 pm: Daniel Hales - Unstable Oscillators Album Release / 12th Anniversary of Frost Heaves. Livestreamed from The Shea Theater. Tickets: available on a sliding scale from $1 to you name it, with 40% of sales directly benefitting The Shea Theater Arts Center.

Watch the livestreamed premiere of a set celebrating the release of Unstable Oscillators: an album compiling the first 3 Eps of Daniel’s pandemic solo project, Selah haleS. It’s also the 12th anniversary of Frost Heaves by The Frost Heaves and Hales (released on April 10, 2009 https://dhatfh.bandcamp.com/album/frost-heaves), which Daniel will celebrate by playing several tracks from his band’s debut album. And of course he’ll also play a few songs from Contrariwise: Songs from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass, which was released with a live show at The Shea in 2013. The livestream will be filmed partly in The Shea Theater Arts Center (solo acoustic), partly in Daniel’s home (electric with looped bass & percussion). Support eclectic local music and The Shea by tuning in to this multimedia spectacle of live music, psychedelic projections, and theatrical segues.

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!
