According to a press release:
 
Based on "Oliver Twist," by Charles Dickens, "Oliver!" follows its titular character on a journey from a workhouse for orphans to bustling London, where Oliver falls in with a ring of young pickpockets. As the action builds, the audience is treated to both laughter and tears, but most of all award-winning music and a rousing theatrical experience.
 
Lionel Bart wrote the book, music, and lyrics for "Oliver!"
 
Faculty member Jeffrey Welch directs his 24th musical for Mount Greylock. Vocal direction is by Mount Greylock Regional School (MGRS) band and chorus teacher Jacqueline Vinette, assisted by senior Sam Tucker-Smith.

Show tickets must be purchased in advance—$10 for adults and $5 for students—and are available by visiting https://events.ticketspicket.com/agency/6b645140-ef06-47fb-89f8-e10319e8f1a9

No Contested Town Races Shaping Up in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — With two weeks left to gather signatures on nomination papers, there are no contested elections shaping up for the May 12 town election.
 
And there is one post for which no one has expressed an interest in serving.
 
Two current members of the Select Board have pulled nomination papers to run for seats on the body, the town clerk reported on Tuesday morning.
 
Stephanie Boyd, who is concluding her first three-year term on the five-person body, has taken out nomination papers.
 
Shana Dixon, who was elected last May to fill the final year of an unexpired term, is running for a full three-year term.
 
The board currently has four members after it chose not to appoint a replacement for Jeffrey Johnson last year. The final year of his unexpired term will be determined by voters this spring. So far, the only resident to pull papers for that post is Nate Budington, who serves on the Historical Commission and is that body's representative on the Community Preservation Committee.
 
None of the three potential candidates for the Select Board have returned papers with the required 30 signatures to get a spot on the May ballot.
