These six selections from the 1930s-1960s represent some of the greatest achievements in film, at a time when the original Hollywood studio system was at the height of its power. This period was also when The Adams Theater was originally operating as a movie theater. Come catch a flick and drink in some nostalgia with two Northern Berkshire theaters of a certain vintage.

"We’re excited to present the first of many future collaborations with our friends at Images Cinema," said Adams Theater founder and artistic director Yina Moore. "We have so much history and audience in common, and collaboration is at the heart of what the Adams Theater does. We’re looking forward to welcoming audience members to relive some Hollywood–and Berkshire–history."  

"Images is especially excited to have The Adams among our collaborators this year, and first out of the gate," says Dan Hudson, Images Cinema Executive Director. "This series is all-killer, no-filler, and we're honored to receive support from an Arts Build Community grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to support an expansive vision of more film programming around the Northern Berkshires."

Dream Green Makes Mattress Recycling Easier

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff

Co-owner Patrick Kennedy says they aim to reuse more than 90 percent of a mattress.
ADAMS, Mass. — Dream Green owners Kyle Danforth, Cole Wojtkowski and Patrick Kennedy offer handcrafted recycling, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
 
Kennedy, a longtime employee of Central Radio in North Adams, noticed a problem. It was not easy to recycle old mattresses, especially since the 2022 state law banning their disposal in trash.
 
Not only are mattresses difficult to move and transport, people often face steep disposal costs that dissuade them from recycling retired mattresses and box springs. 
 
"Mattresses have to go to Lenox or they go far out east to Gardner so we wanted to find a way to make it easier and more affordable," he said. 
 
Kennedy went to Danforth, a realtor and contractor, with the business opportunity. They roped in Wojtkowski and got to work in March 2023. 
 
"We were working out of my garage, but we got the boot from there. So we went to this place and it has been a lot easier since," Danforth said
 
Dream Green moved to the former MRA building in the Adams Industrial Park, located at 15 Print Works Drive. They converted some of the office space into a large working area that allows them to more easily process — or filet the mattresses.
