"Newspaper headlines read: 4 towns flooded, 2,500 people relocated, houses moved on the backs of trucks, 7,500 graves dug up and reburied on higher ground, memories drowned, and little know..."

TheatreTruck Collaborator Emma Ayres has created a truly unique experience: live theater joins forces with the Pioneer Valley's thriving independent music scene in this original immersive production. Audiences will navigate a house of memory to the sound of live music.

Immerse yourself in the currents of time in this story of the flooding of the Quabbin Reservoir. The water is rising.

THE WATER PROJECT (IMMERSIVE) submerges the audience in the final week of the decision making-process: to flood or not to flood the Swift River Valley in service of providing clean water to rapidly growing Boston. The audience is invited to explore the story unfolding around them in this theatrical journey. Faced with imminent flooding, the Doubleday family confronts the end of life and home as they know it, while anxiety rises and rumors walk the halls.

This site-specific performance, featuring fourteen local actors and four bands, (including Amber Wolfe, Wishbone Zoe and Mammas Marmalade), takes place in the buildings and grounds of The Swift River Valley Historical Society (SRVHS), a museum complex filled with memorabilia from the towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich and Prescott, telling us stories of life in the Swift River Valley before the Quabbin.

TheatreTruck is a Collaborative of multidisciplinary artists crafting mobile and site-specific performance, sustainably and playfully. www.theTheatreTruck.com


This production is made possible through the generous support of the Orange, Amherst, Shutesbury, Wendell, New Salem and Pelham Cultural Councils.
