Join Human Agenda Theater on June 13th and 14th for a show about gatherings. This troupe of traveling troubadours tells tales of times of togetherness, the challenges that make it hard to find community, and why our gatherings are still so important. Our show was made through a collaborative theater process, and is the culmination of two years of work. We were drawn towards this topic due to the ways COVID lockdowns and pressures from life in our modern day in this country have impacted our ability to find and form community. Our show explores the difficulties with gathering, the weird quirks humans have when it comes to those times together, and why it is so important that we do gather. Come join our tent for a weird, funny, and joyous time together.

Kelly Tierney (She/Her) - Kelly is a co-founder of HAT who enjoys wearing many a hat--in this production she is writer, actor, and lighting designer. She has previously worn her lighting designer cap for Gorgons by Megan E. Tripaldi, and actor cap as Mira in Mira and the Liminal Dimension (a HAT original). Her creative passions are varied and ever-multiplying, so she is mostly known for having so many ideas and so little time.
Collette (She/Her) - I’m a 42 year old disabled US Navy veteran. I grew up in the Pioneer Valley and joined the military right out of high school. In the past I have worked with at-risk youth and in sales/customer service and I have a bachelors degree in psychology. I live with my wife and dogs in Chicopee. I’ve always loved art and making people laugh. So in my 40’s I became an artist and then a stand up comedian and now a theater actor.
