ADAMS, Mass.—Images Cinema and the Adams Theater will hold a series of film screenings this fall.

The theater will show selections from the 1930s-1960s from September 12 - October 10. All shows are at 7 PM and are ticketed events; visit the Adams Theater website to reserve tickets. Tickets are $8 ($9.50 including fees). 

The Shows

9/26 - 7 PM: Rebel without a Cause

10/3 - 7 PM: Vertigo

10/10 - 7PM: The Graduate

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."

Adams' Park Street Bridge Weight Restrictions Change

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Traffic patterns downtown are anticipated to change because of the state's decision to downgrade the weight limits for the Park Street bridge. 
 
The state Department of Transportation informed the town of the load rating change for the 16.7-foot girder bridge at the end of January. MassDOT has it listed as "Center Street" bridge.
 
The state-owned bridge, over the Hoosic River, was reconstructed in 1957 and is heavily utilized for traffic on Route 8.   
 
Signage showcasing the weight restrictions will be posted sometime next week and are as follows:
  • two to three axles: 19 tons
  • four to five axles: 21 tons
  • six-plus axles: 22 tons 
  • tractor trailers: 22 tons 
Emergency vehicles will be posted as follows: single axle: 16 tons, tandem axle: 25 tons, and a gross of 35 tons. 
 
Vehicles weighing more will be detoured. 
 
Northbound traffic affected by these restrictions will be routed onto Myrtle Street through Pleasant and Depot streets to reconnect to Route 8 on Columbia Street, Town Administrator Nicholas Caccamo said. 
 
Southbound traffic will be directed onto Lime Street, then North Summer Street, and to Center Street.
