Community Calendar

NAMI Western Massachusetts is pleased to offer their NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program in person, starting Tuesday, September 10, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in Holyoke.
What is the NAMI Family-to-Family Education Program?

NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 9-session educational program for family, significant others, and friends of people with mental health conditions. It is a designated evidenced-based program. This means that research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to a person with a mental health condition.
NAMI Western Massachusetts and its dedicated volunteers, members, and leaders work tirelessly to raise awareness and provide essential education, advocacy, and support programs for people in our community living with mental health conditions and their loved ones.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Join Doctor Gasp and Tender Spot for a spooky evening of music and theatrics as we welcome in the Halloween season at CitySpace

Do you distaste the flavor of wax lips? Throat sore from cackling like a phantom? Well... don't lose your head! Haunting can be daunting... and to be Frank; a pain in the neck! This season leave all the ghoulishness to that maniacal minstrel... Doctor Gasp! Beneath the mask of this phantom is a New England folk musician Dan Blakeslee with his unique bag of all original songs of Halloween oozing with vampires and ghastly creeps. Blakeslee's songs are a throwback to old-time cult horror themes, giving nods to Bobby Pickett (Monster Mash), Alfred Hitchcock, John Zacherle and the cavernous voice of Paul Frees. Each October the unexpected spectacle Doctor Gasp rises from the shadows delivering an earful of eerie for the young, old and immortal!

Tender Spot is the music project of Marie “Murry” Echo (fae/they/she) and Tom Matherly (they/them) that blossomed into a two act show called “Witchpunk the Musical”, an immersive theatrical experience narrated by Morphesus, god of dreams, that journeys through the shapeshifting and lucid landscape of dreams. The music & theater of this project is inspired by their love for magic, mythology, the healing spell of compassionate loving awareness, & shredding it. Enter the Dream on October 25&26, 2025 for full length performances of “Witchpunk the Musical” at Northampton Center for the Arts. Find our music on Bandcamp, Spotify & Apple Music.
