WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Lights Off" in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown.

Performances are May 16–18 at 7 p.m.

According to a press release:

When stately Phipps Manor, in the sleepy backwater of Phippsfordshire, is rocked by scandal and murder, the local constabulary must rise to the occasion. But can they match the genius of the resident celebrity detective? A sendup of Agatha Christie–style mysteries, this original whodunit features a parade of characters sure to please mystery lovers: a wealthy patriarch, suspect family members, colorful servant staff and insufferably cocksure detectives. A joyous romp full of both witty wordplay and classic physical comedy, "Lights Off" is theater for all ages.

Written and directed by Mount Greylock sophomore Frankie Evans and senior Quin Repetto, "Lights Off" marks the first student-led production at Mount Greylock since 2018. Thomas Ostheimer is the faculty adviser. Sophomore Natasha Nugent provides musical accompaniment on violin. Levi Cohen-McFall and Alec Sills assisted with fight choreography.

Show tickets must be purchased online — $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens, and $5 for students — and are available by visiting bit.ly/3QwM3K8 or by scanning the QR code on show posters.

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.
