The Clark airs the broadcast in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
In a fresh take on one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, this acclaimed production sets the romantic rivalry against the backdrop of the legendary family-run Hotel Messina on the Italian Riviera, a site that has been visited by artists, celebrities, and royals. But when the owner’s daughter weds a dashing young soldier, not all guests are in the mood for love. Scandalous deceptions soon surround not only the young couple, but also the adamantly single Beatrice (Katherine Parkinson) and Benedick (John Heffernan). Simon Godwin directs the comedy.

2025 Year in Sports: Mount Greylock Girls Track Was County's Top Story

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
Mount Greylock Regional School did not need an on-campus track to be a powerhouse.
 
But it did not hurt.
 
In the same spring that it held its first meets on its new eight-lane track, Mount Greylock won its second straight Division 6 State Championship to become the story of the year in high school athletics in Berkshire County.
 
"It meant so much this year to be able to come and compete on our own track and have people come here – especially having Western Mass here, it's such a big meet,"Mounties standout Katherine Goss said at the regional meet in late May. "It's nice to win on our own track.”
 
A week later at the other end of the commonwealth, Goss placed second in the triple jump and 100-meter hurdles and third in the 400 hurdles to help the Mounties finish nearly five points ahead of the field.
 
Her teammates Josephine Bay, Cornelia Swabey, Brenna Lopez and Vera de Jong ran circles around the competition with a nine-second win in the 4-by-800 relay. And the Mounties placed second in the 4-by-400 relay while picking up a third-place showing from Nora Lopez in the javelin.
 
Mount Greylock's girls won a third straight Western Mass Championship on the day the school's boys team claimed a fourth straight title. At states, the Mounties finished fifth in Division 6.
