      <image:title>News - HUT X3- MOVEMENT | POETRY | SOUND - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The School for Contemporary Dance &amp; Thought (SCDT) invites audiences into a vivid, interdisciplinary performance experience with HUT X3, part of its long-running HUT series, now in its 15th season. This year, HUT is created in collaboration with Bennington College, highlighting artists connected to the college’s renowned arts programs. Co-curated by Jennifer Polins, Jake Meginsky, and Catherine Corbett Bresner, the evening brings together three distinct voices working at the edge of movement, language, and sound. For 15 seasons, HUT has been a cornerstone of experimental performance in Western Massachusetts—a space where disciplines meet, overlap, and challenge one another. Each evening is intentionally simple in structure—three artists, three forms—but expansive in possibility. Audiences are invited to experience work they may not typically encounter, and to witness the unexpected connections that emerge between forms.</image:caption>

The exhibition reflects the continued evolution of the characters within the Cosmic Womb, a highly structured world created by Choi over a decade ago.

      <image:title>News - Silent Disco Studio Hour - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Silent Disco Studio Hour IMMERSIVE ART-MAKING EVENT What is a Silent Disco Studio Hour? An intimate incubator for creative experimentation – to reconnect with a past studio practice, to try a new medium in a supportive space, to retrain our brains to believe in process over product, to be in community and shared space without any of the expected small talk, to awaken the dormant artist in all of us. Because it just hits different to be together in real life. This particular iteration of Silent Disco Studio Hour is designed as a companion to the artwork which is currently on exhibit in the Split Level Gallery at 33 Hawley Street: …we were always beautiful… by Rebecca Alexandra Herskovitz. As such, participants will be guided to utilize the art in the gallery as a “jumping off point,” allowing us to channel something through visual art that may be buried inside, an inner sense or knowledge that is usually obscured by our society’s focus on product, emphasis on linearity, and the confines of language.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Exit 7 Theater Production of Pride and Prejudice: Get your tickets now! February 13th-22nd with performances on Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday Matinee at 2pm 37 Chestnut St, Ludlow MA 01056 Jane Austen’s beloved classic novel is brought to fresh, fun new life in Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. There is little hope for the four Bennet sisters beyond “ensnaring” a wealthy future husband, but Lizzy dreams of more than the schemes and games of courtship. A young woman with a bright mind and free-spirit, she is determined to avoid the trappings of a loveless marriage while laughing at the foolish antics of others. When she meets the solemn Mr. Darcy, she immediately judges him to be all that she detests: proud, arrogant, rude and so without civility that she can hardly endure his presence. Lizzy comes to discover, however, that first impressions may not be all that they seem and that she must learn the true characters’ of others before jumping to harsh conclusions. Is there any way to grow past one’s prejudices? Even then, how can two partners ever be sure of their future happiness together? Hamill’s Pride and Prejudice is a delightful, zany, energetic take on the classic tale full of laughter, madcap characters, and heartfelt fun. https://www.onthestage.tickets/show/exit-7-players/68a65b5f3106501004e55dbd</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Ultimate Pre-Game: The 42nd Annual Silver Chord Bowl Hits a High Note Before the Patriots Kick Off - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>NORTHAMPTON, MA — On Sunday, February 8, 2026, New England will be focused on two major "Bowls." While the Patriots prepare to take the field for the Super Bowl later that evening, the Northampton Arts Council and Smith College are inviting fans to the region’s premier "vocal scrimmage": The 42nd Annual Silver Chord Bowl. The event kicks off at 2:00 PM at John M. Greene Hall, positioned perfectly as the official pre-game celebration for music lovers and football fans alike. In fact, the "Silver Chord Bowl" was originally named as a nod to its timing on Super Bowl Sunday, offering a high-energy, competitive, and soul-stirring alternative to the standard afternoon pre-game show. "Before you settle in for the coin toss, come witness the incredible athleticism of the human voice," says Brian Foote, Executive Director. "We have a powerhouse lineup of seven ensembles ready to leave it all on the stage. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a New England Sunday before the Patriots hunt for another championship ring." The 2026 Starting Lineup The showcase features a championship-caliber roster of collegiate and local talent: The Northamptones: Northampton High School’s legendary, award-winning ensemble. The Smith College Vibes: A fan-favorite all-gender group representing the host campus. Berklee Upper Structure: Award-winning vocalists from the world-renowned Berklee College of Music. The Amherst College Zumbyes: Known for high-energy performances and deep-rooted history. MIT Ohms: Delivering an innovative and technical repertoire from MIT. Notes over Storrs: The premier competitive group from the University of Connecticut. Viridescent: The University of Vermont’s (UVM) premier all-gender ensemble. The event will be hosted by Steve Sanderson (Northampton Arts Council/WRSI 93.9 The River) and will include special appearances by Sarah Willie-LeBreton, President of Smith College, and Gina-Louise Sciarra, Mayor of Northampton.

Children under 13, free https://sheatheater.org/ Eggtooth Productions presents the 9th annual holiday show featuring Mr. Drag called The Nightmare Before Dragmas inspired by the Tim Burton classic film on Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025 at 7:30pm at the Shea Theatre, 71 Avenue A, Turners Falls, MA. Tickets: $20 online, $25 at the door. Children under 13, free. https://sheatheater.org/ Mr Drag (aka Joe Dulude II) will host the event featuring local talent for an evening of song, dance, and story loosely inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas but with Eggtooth’s signature Valley twist. The event is a family friendly (maybe a touch PG13 for some), mildly funky, non-denominational take on the holidays. Eggtooth invites you to celebrate the holidays in a highly traditional non-traditional way. Said Mr. Drag about his newest show, "Well hello Dragnatics! It’s time for another year, another holiday, another show! Yes, the Drag Sisters are back and this year they have decided to take their show/party on tour! Don’t worry, you can still enjoy it from the comfort of the Shea Theatre. They don’t have that big of a budget. So grab a cocktail and join the Drag Family as they find themselves stuck in a quaint little town celebrating the holiday of Dragmas. Will Mr find the love of his life? Will DD finally be able to get her one woman shows to run longer than one show? Will Kat actually show up for the show this year? Whether you’re a Mister Sister, a Messy Kat or a Sighs Queen you are sure to enjoy this romp through the ridiculous and inexplicable and maybe, just maybe you’ll find the spirit of Dragmas has been inside of you all along. That’s what Tennessee Williams used to say."</image:caption>

As Intisar weighs whether to give up her job in Chicago or a piece of her father’s legacy, Mustafah unfolds a poignant story of familial sacrifice and cultural identity. This will move readers.” —Publishers Weekly</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Call to Artists - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Greenfield Celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution Call for Art Release date: November 7, 2025 Due Date for Pre-Application response: December 1, 2025  Contact Information: MA250@Greenfield-ma.gov, (413) 772-1548 ext.4 Important Links: PDF of entire Artist Call is available here. Pre-application Google Form is available here. Questions and answers from the November 17 Information Session are available here. I. OVERVIEW Greenfield was awarded a FY2026 Massachusetts 250 Grant. Through our MA250 Greenfield project we will contract with local artists to create ten sidewalk murals in greater downtown Greenfield that highlight the history of the American Revolution and its participants, the ideals furthered by American independence, and/or Greenfield’s history as a revolutionary and innovative city. The project will culminate in early June with the unveiling of the sidewalk murals and historian-led tours of the murals. This project is modeled after a highly successful 2024 sidewalk art project on abolitionist history in Greenfield which can be found at visitgreenfieldma.com/art-walk Our project will be a celebration of history and art. The murals and Sidewalk Art Tours will be co-marketed through the MA250 statewide website (https://massachusetts250.org/), building cross-promotion opportunities with other communities in Western Massachusetts, and with the annual Juneteenth Celebration and Greenfield Independence Day Fireworks Celebration. We’ll promote tours of the murals to be led by local historians, who will share the history illustrated in the murals.  Self-guided walking tours will be promoted through the project QR, the visitgreenfieldma.com website, and social media. Our MA250 Greenfield project will provide an historic-art-focused offering for residents and visitors celebrating this extra special 4th of July in Western Massachusetts. The project will beautify greater downtown Greenfield with highly visible work done by local and regional artists. Sidewalk murals are created using nonslip paint and coated with a protective, clear layer. Next to each mural will be a decal displaying a map and QR code to the project webpage. Sidewalk murals last more than a year, even in the harsh conditions of New England winter.  City of Greenfield staff, in collaboration with local historians, community activists, business leaders, educators, artists, and others are implementing the project. The Steering Committee will identify ten mural sites in the downtown area (also designated the Crossroads Cultural District by the Massachusetts Cultural Council) and the greater downtown area. Through our grant, we will contract with up to ten artists/teams to paint murals on the sidewalks at the designated sites to be located downtown, along Federal and Deerfield Streets, near the Museum of our Industrial History, and other locations.  The art should be illustrative of the MA250 theme and reflect a person, event, or other interpretation of Greenfield, Massachusetts, and/or the nation in the historic context of the 250th anniversary of our country; final design decisions will rest with the artists. Theme ideas and images will be shared via a Google Folder - MA250_Theme &amp; Image Examples. Artists are also encouraged to explore and share their own theme and image ideas in the folder.   Questions can be submitted at any time to MA250@greenfield-ma.gov II. AWARD Selected artists will receive the following stipends: Create mockups of mural designs—$100 per design Create the final mural—$1,100 per mural painted on an approximately 48x48” section of sidewalk, depending on location   Stipends are inclusive of the cost of art supplies selected by the artist/team and approved by the City. The City of Greenfield will provide low-slip, Americans-with-Disabilities-Act compliant paint to each artist/team at no cost (artists may use their own similar low-slip paint if approved by the City). If an artist is selected for multiple murals they will receive $1,100 for each work. The City will block off the designated sidewalk sections and ensure that any permitting requirements are met before work begins. The City of Greenfield will enter into contract agreements with individual artists and/or artist teams. Half (50%) of the award amount will be paid upon signing the agreement and the remaining 50% paid upon completion and acceptance of the mural by the City. Promotion and marketing will be conducted by the City, in collaboration with the Project Steering Committee and the artists. III.

      <image:title>News - THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC THEATRE ANNOUNCES THE RETIREMENT OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DEBRA J'ANTHONY - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC THEATRE ANNOUNCES THE RETIREMENT OFEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DEBRA J'ANTHONY The longtime Executive Director of the Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton will be retiring in June 2026. This announcement was made recently by Debra J'Anthony, who has been Executive Director of the historic arts venue since 2008.  Under J’Anthony’s 18 years of leadership, the Academy of Music Theatre has expanded programming to include a Season Series, which includes their own presentations and productions, youth musicals and classes, along with community-based arts organizations and national tours; invested over $3 million in capital improvements, including the renovation of the hall, lobby, restrooms, and salon area, as well as the installation of a fire suppression system; created and launched the Valley Voices Story Slam and the Regional Youth Poetry Slam; invested in and updated theatrical equipment, including LED lighting instruments, lighting and sound boards, projector, and restoration of the original 1891 main curtain; and centered the organization around inclusivity and diversity, with a mix of voices that reflect and resonate with the community at large. "It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Executive Director for the Academy of Music Theatre," says Debra J’Anthony, " and working with talented and devoted artists, arts organizations, promoters, patrons, staff, volunteers, and board members to provide quality local and national touring performances, youth programs, and a deep love and care for the beloved historic building owned by the citizens of Northampton." Academy Board President Andrew Crystal reflects, "During her tenure, Debra stewarded the Academy from our darkest days to our vibrant present. She established a unique mix of performing arts to bring to the community, including live music, theater, dance, comedy, and spoken word." Additionally, Crystal says, J'Anthony "initiated the Academy's education program, giving area children the opportunity to  sing and dance on stage. And, under Debra's guidance and vision, the Academy has commissioned and produced original works to present to the community." John Sanders, Partner/Owner at DSP Shows and a frequent and long-time producing partner at the Academy of Music, shares that "Debra has led the Academy of Music into a new era of community connection and artistic vitality. It’s been a real pleasure to work with her over the past decade bringing music and comedy to this incredible historic venue. I’m deeply grateful for all she’s done, and I wish her a joyful and well-earned retirement."   Pioneer Valley Ballet in Easthampton has a decades-long relationship with the Academy of Music. PVB's Co-Artistic Director Maryanne Kodzis expressed her gratitude for J'Anthony's partnership over the years, saying, "Debra's passion for the arts and her deep respect for the theatre's history are felt in every corner of the building. For us at Pioneer Valley Ballet, Debra has been more than a theatre director. She has been a true partner and champion of our work. Her vision made it possible for local organizations like ours to have a place that truly feels like home. We are deeply grateful for her generosity, her vision, and her unwavering belief in the power of the performing arts." J'Anthony says the incredibly supportive and engaged community is the Academy's biggest strength. She finds it inspiring to see those that attend a show one night are often on stage the following week. When asked what she hopes for the Academy's future, J'Anthony mused, "I envision the future of the Academy for my successor to be one of continued growth by building on the youth programs, as well as increasing the diverse offerings we have on stage." As the Academy looks toward its future under new leadership, the organization remains true to its mission of enriching the Northampton community's quality of life by offering first-class performing arts and film presentations, and continuing to be a place for the residents of the city to gather. The Academy's second annual Stitch 'n Flix series will be continuing in January and February, and the Academy is producing the eleventh season of Pioneer Valley favorite Valley Voices Story Slam. Pioneer Valley Ballet will be bringing their annual performance of The Nutcracker in December; the City of Northampton will be hosting several First Night offerings on the Academy stage on December 31; and it continues to be a popular and beloved venue for other producing organizations to bring their artistic visions to life. The search for a new Executive Director will be discussed in the coming weeks, and the Academy of Music Board of Trustees is gathering their search committee, ensuring that important Academy stakeholders will have input into the decision-making process.  Academy of Music Board of Trustees President Andrew Crystal will chair the Search Committee. The organization has engaged LJN Advisory to partner with the organization to find its next leader. The search will launch in January 2026.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - SCDT presents HATCHERY YOUNG ARTIST PROJECT in ECHOES- Dec 19-20, 2025 - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>What happens when you hand a group of teens the creative reins—and pair them with professional artists who treat them like collaborators, not students? You get HATCHERY- THE YOUNG ARTIST PERFORMANCE PROJECT HATCHERY'S ECHOES is more than a performance—it's a window into the inner lives and imaginative power of the region’s youth.  Our program combines dance, music, theater and visual art to create an inspiring evening of live art for all! We would love to connect you with teen performers, parents, and the artistic team for interviews. Their stories illuminate how the arts can shape identity, support mental health, and cultivate community resilience at a moment when young people need it most. Performances: Fri, Dec 19 at 6 PM Sat, Dec 20 at 2 PM ( with the Hatchlings ) &amp; 7 PM at A.P.E.'s Workroom Theater, 33 Hawley St, Northampton Tickets + Info: TICKET LINK HERE Press Contact: info@scdtnoho.com | scdtnoho.com Please consider covering ECHOES- the Hatchery Teen Performance Project’s winter showcase, and a powerful story about how young people in Western Massachusetts are using dance, music, theater, and film to process the world, build community, discover their creative voice and share powerful art that connects communities! At the center of this story are the teens themselves: young artists from Northampton, Amherst, Greenfield, Springfield, Holyoke, and the wider Valley who come to Hatchery looking for connection, challenge, and a place to be fully seen. Many of them are navigating intense social and academic pressures; others are seeking expressive outlets they can’t find in traditional dance school settings. What they discover at SCDT is a creative home where their ideas lead the way. One student describes Hatchery as “the place I learned to trust my voice.” Another: “This is where I realized I could create something that matters.” In ECHOES, these teens premiere original works alongside pieces created with acclaimed choreographers like Ashirah Devi Dalomba, Molly Rose-Williams, Katherine Kain, and Jennifer Polins. The show becomes a living portrait of who they are—curious, brave, collaborative, and deeply engaged with the world around them. This year’s cast includes youth who: -compose original live music as part of the Hatchery Pit Band -create choreography rooted in cultural identity, storytelling, and social connection -discover leadership, confidence, and community through making work together For many families, Hatchery provides stability, mentorship, and a community of belonging; for the teens, it’s a chance to create work that feels personal, urgent, and entirely their own.</image:caption>

Don’t miss this delicious, interactive evening at the intersection of clown and drag. Whether or not you are an aspiring actor, there’s something for everyone in this zany acting class for the ages.  “Judi has been brewing for a few years of my own life and 1200 years of her own mythology, so she has some perspective to share and shade to throw. It’s going to be a fun night, don’t miss it!" said Madden.   Guided by the one and only Dame Judi Dentures, a drag grandma clown with a passion for drama and unsolicited life advice, the show takes audiences on a riotous ride through a larger than life acting class. Expect queer clown chaos, multimedia fun, sassy puppets,  audience participation, delicious guest appearances, and deeply human silliness in a genre-defying performance that pokes fun at tradition while celebrating it.  Blending elements of drag, classical theater, clown, commedia dell’arte, and performance art, Madden uses the persona of Judi Dentures to dig into the hilarity and heartbreak of being alive. Equal parts workshop and performance, the evening will include participatory moments, improvisation, and heartfelt clown logic.  Patric Madden is an actor, director, and experimental drag performance artist based in Western MA. They studied English at Brown University and acting at the Yale School of Drama. They have performed at Yale Repertory Theatre, Yale Cabaret, UnitedSolo, Williamstown Theatre Festival, SpectrumNYC, Easthampton Theatre Company, Rattlestick Theatre, 3 Dollar Bill Brooklyn, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Emrooz Festival, Norfolk Festival, and other venues around the region.

Diana’s ordinary home-maker life of managing family dynamics and school lunches quickly disintegrates amid the twin challenges of bipolar disorder and grief. Meanwhile, her family members do their best to keep up under the strain of their own individual struggles. Nov. 14-22, UMass Theater presents Next to Normal, a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical with music by Tom Kitt and book &amp; lyrics by Brian Yorkey, that looks at the ripple effects of mental illness, stress, grief, secrets, and tremendous love. Tickets are on sale now for this poignant story, set to a driving rock score. Director Kyle Boatwright, an MFA student at UMass and a frequent performer and director with several regional theater companies, says she was drawn to the way this piece "explores the love at the heart of everything." "This is the story of a woman who struggles to balance the life she’s chosen with honoring her truest self—all while working to understand the effects her illness has on herself and on those she loves," Boatwright says, adding, "Nobody's reality is quite right in this family, until they're all brave enough to face a certain darkness and earnestly move toward a light." Joining Boatwright on the creative team for this show is musical director Ben Kaplan '24, who returns to UMass Theater after working with various professional companies. Choreographer Holly Curran, meanwhile, is a former member of the Metropolitan Opera Ballet, bringing her classical training to the genre-bending rock score of the musical.

      <image:title>News - Self-Evident: Fall of Freedom—A Documentary Short Double Feature &amp;amp; Discussion - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Self-Evident Education is joining the nationwide Fall of Freedom movement with a documentary double feature and participatory discussion on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 3-5 PM at the Bombyx Center for Arts &amp; Equity, 130 Pine St., Florence, MA. The screening will feature two short films — If Knowledge is the Key and Freedom’s Battle at Christiana — exploring how race and racism were intentionally built into the early U.S. legal system and legacies of that history, as well as resistance to systemic racism. If Knowledge is the Key explores the story of a bi-racial woman in 1600's Virginia and her suit for freedom. Freedom’s Battle at Christiana, produced for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, tells the story of an organized and armed resistance in Christiana, PA in 1851, against the Fugitive Slave Act, which stated that people in “free states”, were obligated to help return enslaved people to their enslavers. A discussion moderated by Michael Lawrence-Riddell (Self-Evident Education Executive Director), Ibrahim Ali (Self-Evident Education Organizational Strategist), and Professor Ousmane Power-Greene will follow. A $10 suggested donation is encouraged, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. This event is sponsored by Self-Evident Education and co-sponsored by Bombyx, the David Ruggles Center for History and Education and the Northampton Arts Council. Tickets are available at bombyx.live/events/self-evident-fall-of-freedom/.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - November in the Hosmer Gallery - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This exhibition showcases prints and artists’ books made by the members of Zea Mays Printmaking, an important art-making institution in the Pioneer Valley celebrating their twentieth-fifth anniversary this year. The founder and director of Zea Mays, Liz Chalfin, in 2000 established a studio space in Florence, MA devoted to the practice of “green” or non-toxic printmaking, then in something of an infancy, now an acceptable (and even preferred) alternative to more chemical-dependent methods of art-making. (The studio now operates in its own space at the former Cutlery Building in Florence, its third home in twenty-five years.) Chalfin was not only a pioneer in safer printmaking practices but is also an advocate and recognized authority in the worldwide printmaking community. Under her leadership, Zea Mays continues to oversee research not only in safer methods by which artists can do their work but also in more environmentally friendly practices that reduce or eliminate the amount of printmaking byproducts (such as hazardous solvents and microplastics) released in the air and water. The work in this exhibition encompasses all the traditional methods of printmaking—etching, engraving, woodcut, silkscreen and their myriad hybrids—and also a number of artists’ books created with some of these same methods. As diverse as this work might be, all the artists working at Zea Mays share a commitment to safer practices and to spreading the word about what might be called non-invasive and environmentally sound methods of visual expression. We hope you enjoy the work of the many Zea Mays members on view here. Exhibition Contacts: Suzanne Artemieff: sartemieff@gmail.com Elisa Lanzi: lanzielisa@gmail.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Surreal Times Dinner Project - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Surreal Times Dinner Project  A Participatory Arts Event  Hosted by Tonya Lemos  November 4, 2025  6-8pm  Venue: A.P.E. Gallery, 126 Main St, Northampton, MA 01060  Contact: Tony(a) Lemos herbaltonya@gmail.com www.tonyalemosarts.com  Surreal Times Dinner Project comes to the A.P.E. Gallery on Main Street in November. This participatory art event is organized and hosted by artist and herbalist Tonya Lemos. Blurring the line between performance, ritual, and shared meal, this dinner invites participants into a world where conversation, creativity, and food interweave in unexpected ways.  The Surreal Times Dinner Project transforms the act of dining into a collective artwork, drawing inspiration from surrealist games, relational aesthetics, and the practice of gathering as art. Guests become both collaborators and audience, contributing to an atmosphere of curiosity, experimentation, and conviviality.  This project continues Lemos’s ongoing exploration of art as social practice—where connection, imagination, and shared experience take precedence over permanence.  In keeping with the spirit of chance and surrealist play, participants will be selected at random from submitted applications and notified by October 20, 2025.  FILL OUT FORM TO ATTEND: HERE Each participant will be asked to bring a dish that is special to them, inspired by a woman in their lives. These offerings—personal, ancestral, or imaginative—will become part of the evening’s collaborative table, weaving together nourishment, memory, and story.  Artist Statement: The Surreal Times Dinner Project The Surreal Times Dinner Project is an ongoing, process-based artwork that transforms the act of sharing a meal into a ritual of resistance, intimacy, and imagination. Each Tuesday evening since January 21, 2025, I have welcomed two guests to a table set in my cabin or out of doors. Together, we eat, talk, and create—our conversations circling themes of hope, gardens, action, and the quiet return of green. The project is at once dinner, performance, archive, and installation. It gathers fragments of beauty and rupture—moments of laughter, vulnerability, and imagination—and weaves them into a collective oral history of this fractured time. The table becomes altar, stage, and portal; the meal becomes a spell; the gathering becomes a meditation on presence and perception. Rooted in my background as an artist, ecologist, and herbalist, the project extends my commitment to process-based, ecologically grounded art that fosters reciprocity, sensory awareness, and community care. Drawing inspiration from the Surrealist practice of collaboration and play, as well as from the sisterhood of artists Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Kati Horna, these dinners embody the surreal as a way of living: finding magic in the everyday, subversion in the absurd, and connection in uncertain times. Ultimately, the Surreal Times Dinner Project asks: How do we come together when the world feels unmoored? What new stories might emerge when we gather in ritual, in creativity, in communion? Around this table, we practice remembering—and reimagining—the abundant futures still possible. *** Available Potential Enterprises, Ltd.

      <image:caption>Shakespeare &amp; Company MOTHER PLAY: a play in five evictions through October 5 70 Kemble St, Lenox MA 01240 With a martini in one hand and biting commentary in the other, matriarch Phyllis - headstrong, but resourceful - runs her household with a mix of tough love and theatrical flair, determined to prepare her kids Carl and Martha for the harsh realities of the world whether they like it or not.  As Carl and Martha navigate their own paths, Phyllis remains an ever-present force, doling out brutal honesty, unsolicited wisdom, and the occasional guilt trip with impeccable timing.  Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, Mother Play is a sharp-witted, darkly comedic exploration of family, identity, and survival spanning four decades, five apartments, and many hardships from cockroach infestations to painful conflicts. It premiered on Broadway just last year, earning four Tony nominations, two Drama Desk Awards, and an Outer Critics Circle Award. Tickets and More Information</image:caption>

A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster Oct 3, 2025 at 6:00 PM Academy of Music Theatre Get swept into a whirlwind of imagination as Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster brings Mo Willems’ books to life with vibrant puppets, colorful visuals, and playful storytelling. This inventive production by Manual Cinema invites you to see the world through a childlike lens where creativity knows no bounds.  Leonardo is a terrible monster. He tries so hard to be scary, but he just… isn’t. Then Leonardo finds Sam, the most scaredy-cat kid in the world. Will Leonardo finally get to scare the tuna salad out of someone? Or will it be the start of an unlikely friendship? The plot thickens when this pair meets Kerry and Frankenthaler, an even scaredier-cat and her monster friend. Kerry and Sam need to make a big decision: will they just be scaredy cats or can they become friends?  Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About a Terrible Monster uses hundreds of illustrated paper puppets, book pages, two-dimensional props, furry monster puppets, and songs to bring Mo Willems’ books to life. Manual Cinema wanted to re-create the experience of holding one of Mo’s book pages, which are big, bold, colorful, and full of visual rhythm, with a playful use of scale. Like all Manual Cinema productions, you’re invited to watch the big screen like a traditional movie, or to watch the artists below as they create the story in real time. (There is no wrong way to watch the show!)  SHOW DETAILS  Run time is 45 minutes.  For ages 3 and up.  There are some loud sounds, flashing lights, and furry monster puppets in this show!

      <image:caption>Auditions: Enchanted April Easthampton Theater Company is excited to announce auditions for Enchanted April by Matthew Barber, based on the book by Elizabeth von Arnim. There will be two nights of auditions: November 10 and November 12 (by appointment only!). We are seeking eight talented and dedicated actors of a wide range of ages. All roles are available; none are pre-cast. We strongly encourage actors of all races, ethnicities, and gender identities to audition. Enchanted April is a gentle and beautiful story of the importance of platonic relationships, friendships among women, self-care, and rediscovering who you are when life has caused you to lose yourself. The original 2003 Broadway production was nominated for two Tony awards and won Outer Critics Circle and Drama League awards. Synopsis: Enchanted April is a heartwarming, character-driven play set in 1920s England and Italy, following four very different women who escape their dreary lives and unfulfilling relationships by renting a castle on the Italian Riviera for the month of April. As they navigate clashing personalities, unexpected friendships, and personal awakenings, the women—and the men in their lives—are transformed by the beauty, freedom, and magic of their surroundings. With rich roles offering emotional depth, humor, and growth, Enchanted April is a rare ensemble piece that gives each actor the chance to shine in a story full of charm, change, and hope. The show is directed by Gilana Chelimsky and produced by Michael O. Budnick and Deb Jacobson. Auditions are by appointment only on November 10th and 12th at the First Congregational Church in Southampton, with callbacks (if needed) on November 19th. Performance dates are the weekends of March 14-22 in Easthampton. If you would like to schedule an audition, please sign up for one audition slot on our signup genius page AND fill out our audition form. You MUST sign up for a slot AND fill out the audition Google form to be booked for an audition. More information, audition forms, and scheduling information are located on the audition page on our website. More information about the company is available at our website at easthamptontheater.com.
