We are so excited to announce that our 2026 Summer Spectacle will be a re-imagining of our box office hit performance Once A Blue Moon (Cada Luna Azul) directed by DE Founder Stacy Klein. The performance is based on lead actor and cultural strategist Carlos Uriona’s past experience with military dictatorship and cultural rebellion in his native country Argentina. Once a Blue Moon returns Carlos to Agua Santa, a fictional version of his hometown, after many years in exile. He evokes the memories of his past and the stories of the town’s colorful inhabitants as well as the events leading to his departure. The story reflects an increasingly present-day and universal situation in which ‘progress’ and ‘power’ displaces people, in this case causing a flood. It is a story of memory, culture, and song. We presented a version of this performance in our 2015 / 2016 season and are looking forward to re-examining this work 10 years later and creating it anew with our current company.
Previews: July 15
Performances: July 16-August 2
Thursdays - Sundays, plus Wednesday July 22 at 7:30PM. |

This show premiered at our Farm Center in 2022, at a moment when “LGBT-free zones” were appearing across municipalities and regions of Poland — public declarations that LGBTQ+ people were unwelcome. From this charged landscape emerges one man’s journey to break free from the confines of his conservative upbringing, setting out from his homeland in search of a place where he can live openly and wholly, without hiding. Following each performance, there will be a respondency with the creative team. |

Open Training - Winter 2026
February 14
12:30 PM - 3:30 PM We still have a couple spots open for our upcoming Open Training which begins with a tour of the Double Edge Farm Center followed by a two-hour training session led by the ensemble at Ashfield Community Hall. (Tea and coffee will be provided after the session). This is an ideal opportunity to get a sense of what we do and how we work. All levels – even the simply curious – are welcome to attend. We’re excited to share a special offering for February 14: an afternoon of our Open Training paired with that evening's performance of Rainbow Exodus.

Double Edge resides on the ancestral homelands of the Nipmuc, Pocumtuck, and the Abenaki Confederacy. We acknowledge and recognize the Indigenous Peoples who reside here and those who have lived, cultivated, and travelled on these lands for millennia. Their presence must be named after having been invisibilized for hundreds of years. |
