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 Voters Have Choices for Library Trustees Spots

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Just one office has a contested race in the town election on Tuesday.
 
But it is a crowded field.
 
Four candidates are on the ballot for two three-year seats on the Milne Public Library Board of Trustees.
 
The race — along with several uncontested races — will be decided when residents go to the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, at Williamstown Elementary School.
 
As is tradition in town, the town election will be followed one week later by the annual town meeting, also scheduled for the WES gymnasium, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19.
 
Willinet, the town's community access television station, offered the four library trustee candidates a chance to present themselves to the community in videotaped presentations available on the station and at its website, willinet.org.
 
The office sought by Janet Curran, Martin Mitsoff, Kathleen Schultze and Michael Sussman is one of seven seats on the Milne's Board of Trustees. That board is responsible for appointing the library director and deciding written policies for the library at 1095 Main St., on the Field Park rotary.
