08:06AM / Tuesday, February 25, 2025Print Story | Email Story

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) and its public arts program, MOSAIC, will present "ReWritten," a multimedia dance-theater performance exploring the complex relationship between authors Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The production will take place at MCLA's Venable Theater on Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. and March 1 at 2 p.m.

Blending dance, live music, visual art, projection, and theater, "ReWritten" reimagines an intergenerational queer love story through the lens of Melville and Hawthorne's remaining letters and literary influence. The performance explores themes of longing, artistic inspiration, and societal expectations.

Created and performed by dance artists Matthew Cumbie and Tom Truss, the show also features award-winning composer and bassist Summer Kodama, projection design by Roma Flowers, and scenic and lighting design by MOSAIC Director Jeremy Winchester.

Developed over four years, "ReWritten" has been shaped by residencies and collaborations with Berkshire arts organizations, including Arrowhead/Berkshire Historical Society, The Adams Theatre, and Berkshire Pulse.

Tickets are $10 for the general public, $5 for MCLA alumni, and free for current MCLA students, faculty, and staff. More information and ticket purchases are available at www.mcla.edu/mosaic.

Icy Rain, Snow for Berkshires Today; More Snow Forecast This Weekend

10:59AM / Wednesday, February 18, 2026

Update at 4 p.m.: Ooops, looks like the nasty weather slipped southward, alleviating North Berkshire from more snow but bringing slushy mush to central and South Berkshires. Drive with caution.

The never-ending winter gave us a few warmish, clear days — a tease of spring — but that's apparently over.

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm advisory to North Berkshire, Southern Vermont and the New York Capital District.

The advisory begins at noon Wednesday and runs through 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Be prepared for one to 4 inches of precipitation — a sleety rain that will turn to snow later in the day.

There were predictions of up to 6 inches but meteorologist Steve Caporizzo at ABC News10 on Wednesday morning has an updated forecast of 3 to 5 inches across North Berkshire and one to 3 inches to the south.

There's no worry on school closures or delays in Massachusetts as it's winter break. Vermont schools, however, are still in session with their break beginning next week.
