Ashfield, MA Events

Hungry and thirsty, Amal wandered into the fields of Ashfield.  As her path led her to the riverbank and lake, a ceremonial welcome offered her a feeling of refuge and home.

In partnership with Double Edge Theatre, Jupiter Performance Studio, Ohketeau Cultural Center and Ebony Noelle Golden.

Double Edge Theatre, founded in 1982 by Stacy Klein, is a cultural cooperative and ensemble collective — a place of nurturing and sanctuary. We fuse the highest caliber of artistic work, a deep love of the natural environment, and an unwavering faith in human potential. Like the water that runs around and through the land it occupies, Double Edge is a river for artists who thirst — from all ancestral legacies, cultural backgrounds, community contexts, walks-of-life. Often artists, educators, scholars come here to identify more clearly, to understand themselves, and to seek where their courage will allow them to go. doubleedgetheatre.org/
