It is good to be in the “center” of things. If someone takes “center stage,” they assume a space of importance and value; they are seen.  Have you read an interesting article about theatre recently? Send it to me! pioneervalleytheatre@gmail.com PERFORMANCES THEY DON'T PAY? WE WON'T PAY! by Dario Fo and Franca Rame English translation by Jon Laskin and Michael Aquilante directed by Behnam Alibakhshi The Rand Theater, Bromery Center for the Arts Dec. 7 & 8 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets:  $17 general admission $5 students, seniors, and Card to Culture patrons Tickets sold through the Fine Arts Center Box Office (call 1-800-999-UMAS or visit the box office website), and at the door on the night of the show. The UMass Department of Theater is pleased to participate in the Card to Culture program. For details, please visit our Card to Culture page. Recommended for audiences age 12 and up What if people got so fed up about the rising cost of food that they started looting to fill their pantries? They Don't Pay? We Won't Pay!, by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, takes a real, not-so-funny situation and mines comedic gold by taking it to absurd extremes that include faked pregnancies, sit-com style slapstick, and a whole lot of poking fun at authority figures. UMass Theater presents Fo and Rame's farce in the Rand Theater from Dec. 1-8, with tickets onsale now. Concurrently to the show's run, the department is running a food drive for the Amherst Survival Center. Director Behnam Alibahkshi said he selected the play "because I was looking for something that related to my situation as an Iranian person and also related to the Unites States." Iranian currency devaluation means food prices are skyrocketing, and in the US, inflation means many households are struggling to afford the basics. Amherst Survival Center staff say current demand for their services far eclipses even the worst of the pandemic need. Alibahkshi was looking for something that would give people hope, and he knew comedy would offer that. "Talking about a very dark situation in a very funny way can reduce the amount of pressure in the situation," he said.  David Keohane, the play's dramaturg, added that the play's message of solidarity and collective action is both inspiring and relevant in a moment of heightened union activity around the world. Join UMass Theater for a production that gives us an opportunity to laugh at the absurdity of our present moment, and hopefully find a little relief along the way. “HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS 2023” COMING TO MAJESTIC THEATER DECEMBER 7-22 Majesters Bring Night of Holiday-Themed Improv Comedy to Theater December 18 West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present its annual seasonal variety show, “Home for The Holidays,” December 7-22.  The family-friendly show, featuring Pioneer Valley-based performers, has become a tradition at the theater for more than a dozen years.  Similar in style to nostalgic holiday specials of years past headlined by Andy Williams and Perry Como, “Home for The Holidays 2023” will be co-hosted by singer Ray Guillemette, Jr., who has headlined countless "A Ray of Elvis" sold-out shows at the Majestic, and Ben Ashley, a Majestic favorite who has performed in several hit shows including “Mamma Mia” and “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.” Joining Ray and Ben onstage will be several veteran Majestic performers, including Kait Rankins, Steve Sands, Nikki Wadleigh, Myka Plunkett, Brad Shepard, Lori Efford, and special guest Santa Claus.  The show will be directed by Stephen Petit, who also serves as production manager, and Mitch Chakour is the music director/arranger.  Set design is by Bev Browne, Dan Rist is the lighting designer, and wardrobe mistress is Christine Thompson.

CitySpace Bar Dykes: Merril Mushroom's one-act play December 8 and 9 at 7:00 PM, December 10 at 4:00 PM 43 Main Street, Easthampton, MA 01027 Theatre artists, producers, and directors Emily Fuller and Erin Ferrentino present Bar Dykes on December 8, 2023 at 7 PM; December 9, 2023 at 7PM; and December 10, 2023 at 4 PM in CitySpace’s Blue Room at Old Town Hall at 43 Main St. Easthampton, MA. Tickets are sliding scale from $15-$40. Masks required. The one-act play Bar Dykes was written by lesbian playwright Merril Mushroom in the early 1980’s as a means to archive and preserve the cultural legacy of gay bars in the 1950’s. In the foreword to a recently published edition of the play, Faythe Levine and Caroline Paquita note: “In an era where dating apps have seemingly replaced ‘cruising,’ the much needed archiving of the dyke bar culture of the twentieth century has become imperative, in order to record this rapidly disappearing underground herstory.” The play will feature a queer cast and crew. Keep up to date on Bar Dykes as well as future queer community theater endeavors and productions at @queercommunitytheatre on Instagram. This is a Pay It Forward project. https://www.cityspaceeasthampton.org/all-events/#/events/79119 Improv Through the Ages at Northampton High School Friday Dec 8th from 7:00-9:00  On Friday December 8th, the Scarlet Sock Foundation will present an evening of fun, delight, and spontaneity with Improv Through the Ages!  The Scarlet Sock Foundation supports underrepresented populations by administering small grants to community organizations and individuals of all ages to increase exposure and access to social justice theater.

The theme this year, “All Good Things Must Begin,” is inspired by the journal entry of American science fiction writer Octavia Butler. Butler was incredibly prescient, writing about extremism, racial justice, and climate change some 30 years ago. By setting intentions and visualizing a positive outcome, she defied the odds and became the author of many celebrated novels, winning each of science fiction’s highest honors. While the worlds of her novels depict the violent challenges of today’s interlocking crises, her protagonists remain devoted to thriving, to achieving survival beyond the destructive and oppressive societies they come from. The climate crisis demands the same kind of imaginative leap: we will create a just and regenerative world only if we dare to imagine it first, and use that vision to guide us through the difficulties. We all need to be solarpunks and envision radical pluralistic futures where nature and community thrive, and where we reject the apocalypse and embrace counterculture, post-capitalism, and decolonization. The LAVA Center will present two programs of short plays as staged readings, on Saturday, Dec. 2, 7 pm and Saturday, Dec. 9, 7 p.m. There is a $5–20 suggested donation for the plays — no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The December 2 program will be directed by Kiersten Samalis and will be followed by a facilitated debrief activity led by a local theater troupe to be confirmed. The December 9 program will be directed by JuPong Lin and will be followed by a facilitated debrief discussion led by Lin. The programs will also be available online, on demand for a short time following the live performances. Visit https://thelavacenter.org for details. Climate Change Theatre Action launched in 2015, and the LAVA team has been presenting these plays, in some form, since 2017, years before The LAVA Center was born! Greening Greenfield has been a supporter of this programming since the beginning. The Climate Change Theatre Action readings are part of LAVA’s two months of Climate Crisis, to get us both thinking about the Global Climate Crisis and to begin thinking of ways to adapt. On display through December are the Climate Crisis Community Photo Exhibit and local JuPong Lin’s installation on the climate crisis. “Mother Tongue,” by First Generation  Saturday, December 9th, 2023 Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity,  130 Pine St, Northampton, MA 01062 Ticket link Mother Tongue is an original multilingual physical theater performance, created by the Performance Project’s First Generation Ensemble. Mother Tongue is inspired by the experiences of the ensemble members, their families and communities who are from Congo/Tanzania, Bhutan/Nepal, South Sudan/Darfur, Puerto Rico, Holyoke, and Springfield, Massachusetts. The 90 minute performance weaves together movement, music, dance, and stories in Arabic, Swahili, Nepali, Spanish, and English. The  piece incorporates themes of language, culture, identity, diaspora, hypermasculinity, transphobia, racism, the school to prison pipeline and revolution.  Appropriate for ages 12 and up.  About Mother Tongue More at www.performanceproject.org Happier Valley Comedy 2nd Saturdays Presents Location, Location, Location December 9 at 7:00 PM The 2nd Saturday of Every Month Happier Valley Comedy, 1 Mill Valley Rd, Hadley LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Six characters, three scenes, one location.

Facebook event Phantom Sheep is Western MA's longest running professional comedy troupe. They also offer weekly improv classes for adults at Unity House Players. A beloved, annual holiday tradition returns to Shakespeare & Company December 15, 16, and 17: a lively, costumed reading of Georgiana & Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley, written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon and directed by Ariel Bock. Drawn from the pages of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, four performances of this imagined sequel will be presented on the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre stage at Shakespeare & Company on Friday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. Bock has directed readings of the two preceding plays – Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley and The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley –  at Shakespeare & Company, and said she looks forward to directing the third and final play in the trilogy. “I am so happy to be directing this new play, based on Austen’s much-loved characters,” she said. “You don’t have to be a Jane Austen fan – though why not? – to be delighted at what our creative team puts together in this special holiday treat.” Georgiana & Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley takes place at the home of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, and focuses on Georgiana Darcy – an accomplished pianist wary of romance. Georgiana’s best friend, Kitty Bennet, is a bright-eyed optimist. These two younger sisters are ready for their own adventures in life and love, starting with the arrival of an admirer and secret correspondent to Pemberley. “The younger generation of Bennet and Darcy women test their wings as they continue the family traditions of sisterly warmth, witty repartee, and pushing boundaries,” added Bock. “Kitty and Georgiana support each other as they navigate secret suitors, the excitement and the agonies of romance, and their desire to break away from the confines of society to establish themselves as independent women and artists.” Tickets are $28 for general admission and $18 for students; $5 EBT Card to Culture pricing is also available for up to four tickets per EBT Card. Mike’s Place will be open one hour prior and following each show, offering a full bar, concessions, and gift-shop items.   For more information, visit shakespeare.org, or call the Box Office at (413) 637-3353.  Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Public Charter School PVPA Presents: Tartuffe December 15 and 16 at 7:00 PM 15 Mulligan Drive, South Hadley, MA The Pioneer Valley Performing Arts (PVPA) Charter Public School Theatre Department is pleased to present Tartuffe.

Theater Between Addresses To Serve The Hive Auditions December 15 at 6:00 PM Event location will be sent to the auditioners The world is no longer plentiful, and the hive is growing restless. If the divine right of queens is no longer enough to keep the hive secure, how do they survive starvation? How does a vain, aging queen accept the need for a successor? How far can a subservient go outside her bounds? To Serve The Hive is a queer political thriller and a climate crisis drama set in a beehive (all the characters are bees). To Serve The Hive is written by Atlanta-based playwright Julia Byrne and directed by Ezekiel Baskin. This Theater Between Addresses production will be the script's Northeast premiere. Rehearsals will begin in early January 2024, and performances will take place in March 2024. Actors will be paid a minimum guaranteed stipend of $300. We're looking for actors who love to work collaboratively, and are interested in exploring the world of the hive through movement and voice. No experience is necessary; all are welcome to audition! More details and sign up form here: https://forms.gle/DzcCu3K1YBwt7Byt5 Real Live Theatre seeks a stage manager for our Summer 2024 premier of When the Mind’s Free, an original dance-theatre piece which lifts language, ideas, and story from Shakespeare’s King Lear and places them in a contemporary context, that of a lesbian family dealing with the early onset Alzheimer’s of the matriarch and the addictions of the youngest daughter. We are looking for an experienced stage manager, and it is a plus to have stage managed dance-theatre specifically. The ideal candidate will:  -have excellent communication skills -be comfortable with Google Drive, Zoom, email, etc. -be highly organized and detail-oriented -have a patient and supportive management style -be a cooperative and thoughtful team player  Life experience relevant to the themes of the play are a plus. The language in the piece is mainly contemporary and has emerged out of improvisations outlined and shaped by the director and performed by the ensemble, as well as in consultation with memory care organizations, caretakers, families, and individuals dealing with memory loss. In When the Mind’s Free, the epic arc of King Lear is condensed into one day in the life of this family. Scenes of caregiving, some of which blossom into imaginative play, others of which devolve into frustration and tears, are interspersed with dances which take the audience outside of that repetitive reality, into the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters. We are guided in our work not only by our study of the text of King Lear, but also by these big questions: What does it mean to have accurate memories, and why do we need them? Separated from our memories, who are we? Can we maintain intimate relationships without shared memories? How can the Buddhist principle of non-attachment help us in caring for those with memory loss and those who struggle with addiction? And finally, how do we bring levity and light into our darkest hours? A core component of this project is direct community engagement; each performance of the piece will be accompanied by a facilitated space for discussion. We hope to give audience members time to reflect on their experiences of caregiving and being cared for, to share stories and resonances, and to connect with local resources and with one another. From our own experiences, we know how lonely caregiving can be, and we hope to provide space to foster community connectedness. The piece will rehearse and perform in the CT River Valley of Western Massachusetts between July 1 and August 11, exact schedule and dates TBD.  During that period the stage manager must be available during a mix of times, including weekdays. There will also be some minimal remote work (emailing and zoom meetings) starting January 2. Stipend $1,500.  Please send a letter of interest and resume to Ellen and Toby at reallivetheatre@gmail.com.

Members participate in artistic and leadership training, community building, social justice dialogues, and intergenerational mentoring. First Generation  creates multilingual physical theater performances inspired by their own life experiences,  and the experiences of their families and communities.
