West Springfield, MA (2/25/26) – West Springfield’s Majestic Theater has announced that its Torch Song Tuesday program has received funding in part by a $3,000 grant from the West Springfield Cultural Council, which is funded by the Mass Cultural Council, according to Managing Director Terence LaCasse.

Torch Song Tuesday is a cabaret-style intimate performance that typically takes place once a month in the 70-seat Majestic Theater Café.

“As a cornerstone of the West Springfield community, we are extremely grateful that the city of West Springfield has a cultural council that supports so many arts organizations here in town. Their choice to fund the artists contributing to Torch Song Tuesdays, our monthly candlelit cabaret in the Majestic Cafe, allows us to enhance our programming, all the while ensuring that our tickets are affordable and accessible,” noted LaCasse.
