When Turners Falls asked the community what to do with the Shea Theater, a group of us imagined a place that would serve all of us — artists, families, students, elders, youth, businesses, and nonprofits — who make our homes in Franklin County. The Shea Theater Arts Center is Franklin County's only publicly owned performing arts center. This premier space is the gem of Montague and the economic engine for the town's revitlization.
Now, we have a rare opportunity to create something amazing: an arts center and community space for the 21st century. A place for those who have been here for generations and those just arriving.
