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.

Concessions and a raffle will be provided by the MGRS Friends of the Arts, with proceeds benefiting school arts. Prizes include original artwork and tickets to music and theater events, ranging in value from $175 to $268 per prize.

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

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — North Berkshire Community Dance will host its monthly contra dance this Saturday, Jan. 10, at the First Congregational Church.

The event, held in the Community Hall at 906 Main Street, offers an evening of traditional New England folk dancing open to families, couples, and individuals.

The evening begins with an introductory lesson at 7:15 PM, followed by the main dance from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM. Liz Nelson will serve as the caller, utilizing "Larks and Robins" role terms.

Music for the event will be provided by Spare Parts, a Berkshire-based trio featuring:

Organizers emphasize that contra dancing is a social activity where participants are encouraged to change partners throughout the night; no partner is required to attend.

Admission follows a sliding scale of $12 to $20, though the organization maintains a policy that no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Regarding public health, masks are welcome but not required, and the venue will keep windows open for ventilation. Attendees are asked to stay home if they feel unwell.
