1. The Can of Yams, by Jonathan Caws-Elwitt
Witty repartee and farcical antics drive this tale of an egotistical and ambitious painter, his sardonic and level-headed sister, and the influential gallery owner who pays them a surprise visit. There's only one thing standing between Alan Plum and the fame he craves, and it's the cherished object at the center of his unfinished masterpiece—a can of yams! Federal Street @ Community Yoga
2. Have you seen Charlie? by Stephanie Carlson
Passport Theatre Company presents a premiere production of Stephanie Carlson's new short play, Have You Seen Charlie? Based on a true story, an old school farmer meets his match when Charlie the cat comes to visit. A poignant comedy about family, farms and felines.
9 Mill Street
3. “A Tale of Two Trees- Or How the Planet Spins on a Dime” - Rainbow Player Improv Theater Troupe
Enter an old growth forest in New England, mystical, majestic and enter a Brazilian rainforest, misty, humid and resplendent with color, simultaneously... >SCREECH-- REWIND....!!< Is this a past we can barely remember or is there still time to recover the beauty and diversity of creatures? Has progress and the pursuit of money- casinos, products, urban sprawl- taken over? Come see for yourself, from the sometimes hilarious points of view from iconic fairy tale forest characters; talk show hosts; live on the scene news; and the animals who inhabit these places...you may be one of them! A unique improv fairy tale musical in which YOU play a part. Greenfield Community College
4. Abaga (The Future) by Torange Yeghiazarian - Silverthorne Theater
Abaga (The Future) tells the story of two sets of lovers torn apart by the ethnic turmoil that has characterized much of middle Eastern history. Why do the experiences of repression and prejudice by one generation not lead to better understanding and tolerance of the next one? How can we break the cycles of violence that tear apart whole populations? Torange Yeghiazarian's short play addresses but does not answer these wrenching questions. Artspace @ 15 Mill Street
5.Like Mary Oliver
When a lonely retiree discovers the world's most famous poet, her rigid outlook on life changes drastically, giving her a second chance at fate. Greg Josselyn guides you through a story about devastatingly lyrical desires with nods to film noir, mystery, and bad poetry in a serene evening of mindful catastrophes.
393 Main Street - second floor (very limited seating)
6. Sweet Slice of Life! Lori Holmes Clark and Company present new choreography with "Sing a Song of Sixpence..." as a jumping off point. With both dance and dessert explored and enjoyed during the performance, this is indeed a Sweet Slice of Life! Upstairs at Hope & Olive
7. Feeding the Moonfish by Barbara Wiechmann with Northampton High School Students
Feeding the Moonfish focuses on the hypnotic push and pull of human relationships. Dark, dreamy, and poetic, the play explores the tenuous relationship between two young people isolated by trauma who find themselves together at the edge of a saltwater lake in the dead of night." GCTV
8. That New Play, by local playwright Steve Wangh,directed by Chris Rohmann
As the house lights dim, Edith and Abe take their seats. She's eager to enjoy the next Fringe show on their program, he's wishing they'd stayed home.A smart, strange, excruciatingly funny new play that turns the theatergoing experience inside out – literally.
2nd Congo Church
Extra fun - Cinderella Windows -that will run in storefront windows at 393 Main Street through the festival!
