December 30 - January 19, 2021
In light of the Omicron variant, it looks like this New Year might be a quieter one than originally imagined. First Night Northampton has cancelled all indoor in-person events (there will still be fireworks, the ball drop, and streamed performances available from a few venues), and several other things have been cancelled or postponed as well. I would strongly encourage you to check with a theatre ahead of time if you are planning to attend something in the next few weeks - and don't forget to bring your mask and your vaccination card with you! I'm bringing back the Virtual Performance section as a few more virtual options pop back up - including an exciting new audio play from Real Live Theatre. Happy New Year!
The next issue will include events from January 6 - 26. Submit upcoming events via the link below or by emailing me before Tuesday at midnight. Any questions, comments or feedback? Email me at pioneervalleytheatre@gmail.com

THIS WEEK IN THEATRE NEWS:
from Howlround
Where We Go From Here: Reflections on 2021
by HowlRound Theatre Commons
From the article:
2021 was a strange year overall and an even stranger year to celebrate a milestone birthday. 26 January 2021 marked the ten year anniversary of a convening called From Scarcity to Abundance that the HowlRound co-founders (Dr. P. Carl, David Dower, Jamie Gahlon, and Vijay Mathew) produced, which was hosted at Arena Stage under the auspices of the American Voices New Play Institute. This convening served as a launch of both the HowlRound Journal and the New Play Map (2011-2016), and as we see it, was the launch of HowlRound—a now global community of theatremakers who believe in sharing knowledge and access through a commons-based framework. Once upon a time, we dreamed of hosting a giant convening in 2021 to mark this birthday. We had hoped to bring people together in Boston both to celebrate the work of the last ten years and to plan for the next twenty. And then 2020 happened.

Production Managed by Syl Simmons
Sound Design/Recording/Editing by Rachel Hall
Theme Song by Cynthia Zaitz, PhD
Performed by Trenda Loftin as the Witness and Linda Tardif as the Raft Person.

From New England New Play Alliance:
Gather by the Ghost Light presents
North Pole Noir
by Patrick Gabridge
streaming now
directed by Jonathan Cook
A dark look at the underside of the North Pole, as detective Harvey the Elf tries to solve the murder of Frosty the Snowman. Professor Hinkle claims he was framed, but what sorts of tundra games are these folks playing? A noir tale from the land of perpetual midnight. Tickets: free.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre presents
The Rise and Fall
of Holly Fudge
by Trista Baldwin
now-January 4
directed by Courtney Sale
It is Christmas 2020, and Carol is a hard-working single mother who makes award-winning "Holly" fudge, named after her daughter. She serves it every holiday. She gifts it to her friends and co-workers. She's determined that this year won't be any different, even if she has to wear a mask while whipping up her famous dessert. But with her daughter's girlfriend crashing Christmas, her neighbor's new-found love of confectionery, and the protests erupting on her front lawn, Carol is finding it tough to make this the most wonderful time of year. Tickets: contact box office.
The Wilbury Theatre Group presents
Fire Flowers and
a Time Machine
by multiple artists
now-December 31
directed by Shey Rivera Ríos
A virtual reimagining of the original production, with artists embodying Ancestors or Descendants who share their stories of ancestral inheritance, connection to land, migration, healing, and more. Fire Flowers and a Time Machine (Flores de Fuego y una Máquina del Tiempo) puts audiences in touch with ancestors from the past and our future descendants. Together these guides bring forth knowledge and magic through a story that weaves monologues, poetry, dance and ritual. Tickets: pay what you can.
Arlekin Players present
Witness
by Nana Grinstein, Blair Cadden, and Igor Golyak
now-January 23
directed by Igor Golyak
Witness, the latest project from Arlekin’s Zero Gravity (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab, is a new documentary theater piece about Jewish immigration in the face of antisemitism. The piece is inspired by the journey of the MS St. Louis, which left Hamburg in 1939 with over 900 Jewish people on board and headed to Cuba only to be turned away, leaving the passengers stranded with nowhere to go and no escape. Witness shares stories of Jewish immigrants from around the globe through an interactive virtual theater experience at the nexus of film, theater, and video games.
Tickets: $12-$45.
