WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.— Mount Greylock Regional School will present "Rewind: A Real-Life Sitcom" in the school auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road. Performances are scheduled for May 8–10 at 7 p.m.

The play centers on high school student Ashley Stevens, whose teenage life has seemingly transformed into a sitcom. The narrative includes comedic elements such as a nosy neighbor, inept antagonists at school, and improbable situations, complete with commercial breaks and the behind-the-scenes activities of a director and crew. The play explores Ashley’s attempt to understand this change and whether she desires to return to her previous reality.

"Rewind" was written and directed by Mount Greylock junior Frankie Evans. This production is Evans’ first solo writing project to be staged at the school, following last year’s "Lights Off," which Evans co-wrote. Thomas Ostheimer is serving as the faculty adviser for the production.

Tickets for the performances are $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, and $5 for non-district students. They must be purchased online through the GoFan platform at https://gofan.co/app/school/MA13751 or by scanning the QR code on show posters.

Williamstown Government Presents Communication Plan

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Williamstown is working to improve communications with residents.
 
The town manager told the Select Board last week that the town obtained a Community Compact Best Practices grant from the state's Division of Local Services to fund a consultant from the University of Massachusetts at Boston's Collins Center for Public Management to develop a communications strategy.
 
Improved communications is a growing concern for small towns like Williamstown, Town Manager Robert Menicocci told the board.
 
"The world has changed with social media," Menicocci said. "The expectations of what a community communicates to its citizens — the game has been upped.
 
"I think this was a new area for government and many communities are looking at a need to staff up to address communications, where, in the past, maybe a big city would have a communications director. Now that has trickled down to almost all small communities."
 
To that end, the town has completely revamped its website and hired its first communications director — both steps that were included in the November 2025 Collins Center report, "Roadmap for Inclusive and Accessible Municipal Communications in Williamstown, Mass."
 
Brianna Sunryd, a public services manager at the Collins Center, presented her group's findings to the Select Board.
