WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Peter and the Starcatcher" in the school's auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown.

Performances are Friday, May 12, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 13, at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

According to a press release:

"Peter and the Starcatcher" imagines how Peter became Pan, came to Neverland and met the future Captain Hook. Taking place on two ships and a magical island, this comedy is playful and exciting enough to amuse children of all ages, but also has plenty of jokes for grown-ups, too, including jabs at the British Empire and a reference to Philip Glass. Come sit back, enjoy the dancing mermaids and just be a kid for a while.

Based on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's novels, the Tony-winning "Peter and the Starcatcher" was written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. It's directed by Mount Greylock alumna Amanda Bell Goldmakher and performed, choreographed and designed by MGRS students.

AG Clears Williamstown Select Board in Open Meeting Complaint

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Attorney General's Office on Wednesday cleared the Select Board in an Open Meeting Law complaint filed by iBerkshires.com while simultaneously confirming the supposition at the heart of the complaint.

The AGO found that the board did technically violate the OML when it moved to executive session on May 11, a misstep the board previously acknowledged in its response to the complaint.

The meeting in question was held behind closed doors to discuss the town's response to a proposal from Williams College to acquire the former town garage site at 59 Water St.

At the time of the May 11 meeting, the board had held no public discussion, let alone a vote, on whether to enter into negotiations with Williams, the lone respondent to a request for proposals issued by the town for the 1.27-acre parcel.

The board cited an exception to the Open Meeting Law that states executive sessions are appropriate if, "holding the discussion in open session may have a detrimental effect on the Board's negotiating position."

iBerkshires.com maintained in its complaint that the executive session was premature given the fact that the board on May 11 had no one to negotiate with as it had not agreed — publicly — to negotiate with the college.

The news organization cited the fact that the town's RFP clearly indicated a multi-step process in which the board first would decide whether to engage with any of the respondents (assuming multiple bids were made) and then enter into negotiation with one of the respondents.
