"common" is live theatrical experience on the Amherst Town Common to mark the town common’s place in history in the 250th year of the United States. Developed as a work for headphones and phones, users will scan a QR code prior to the start time to access the piece, then gather on the grassy south section of the common to wait for the experience to begin.
This free, participatory event will require headphones and a connection to the internet while on the Amherst Town Common. The program will be run 3 times: at 10:30, 11:15 and 12:00. Information on how to access the program will be available at Amherst Historical Society’s Hands on History table at the Amherst Farmer’s Market that morning. Length: ~25 minutes. Appropriate for ages 12+.

🌝🌚🌛🌜The HIGHLY ANTICIPATED A Happening RETURNS on Halloween weekend!

For two nights only, October 30 and 31, Cloudgazers presents “A Happening VI: SALVAGE”, a fully explorable, spectacular, theatrical world.

**Please note that there are two performances per night to meet audience demand and getting advance tickets is highly encouraged.

**Please note that the audience may be asked to travel up and down stairs or traverse dimly lit halls. Interactions and scenes also take place on the main level of the theater with an accessible bathroom.

Audiences will visit Restoretown, a community shaped by loss, and move through memories that lead to joyful celebration. Inspiration for this work ranges from William Shakespeare’s The Tempest to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

Those in the Cloudgaze community are acutely aware of loss as we continue to grieve the late Natalie Dansie Graves. Nat, a key member of the team behind “A Happening”, was a creative leader, a boon to the installation process, and graced the winding pathways of the Shea with dance and song, whit and whimsy. This year’s performance is dedicated in their honor.

A Happening VI brings together musicians, dancers, visual artists, actors, and artists of all kinds to create a world that offers an enchanted experience for everyone. Audiences who love mystery, intrigue, and participation will find plenty of ways to interact and engage, while those who prefer to observe can enjoy sights that delight at a distance.

With two performances per evening, time compresses in this one and half hour experience -
curiosity will be rewarded.

Apothecary serving specialty cocktails and N/A beverages in the lobby.
