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 Board of Health Gets Update on 330 Cole Ave.

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Board of Health last Monday saw evidence supporting a tenant's complaint about ventilation issues at their 330 Cole Ave. residence.
 
Health Inspector Ruth Russell shared with the board a three-page memo outlining her department's actions since receiving a complaint from the occupant of Unit D6 at the property managed by Pittsfield's Hearthway Inc.
 
The memo outlined seven inspections that Health Inspector Ruth Russell has conducted at the unit since the complaint was received on March 10 of this year. On March 20, after her initial inspection, Russell cited five violations of the state sanitary code related to moisture in the unity.
 
Her Monday report also included photos taken during the most recent inspection of the unit's bathroom ventilation system on Aug. 3.
 
As recently as July 21, Hearthway's director of real estate development told Russell, "The fans in this unit have been checked multiple times by staff and contractors and found to be operating the same as in all other apartments," according to the Aug. 17 memo.
 
On July 24, Russell inspected the unit with a representative from the Berkshire Public Health Alliance after the occupant reported that the shower was used several hours before and, despite having the window open and the ventilator fan running, moisture was still present.
 
"Use of a vane anemometer in the bathroom demonstrated that there is insufficient flow going through the vent," Russell reported.
