Christopher Reeve in 1990
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema will host a fundraising event, "Remembering Christopher Reeve," on Wednesday, May 14, as part of its Look Forward Capital Campaign.
 
The event will begin with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. in the Images Lounge, featuring special guest James Naughton and community members. This will be followed by a screening of the documentary "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" and a conversation in the theater.
 
The Look Forward campaign aims to continue the legacy of Christopher Reeve and enhance accessibility at the theater. Reeve, known for his portrayal of Superman and his involvement with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, also supported Images Cinema's 1989 fundraising campaign.
 
"Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" chronicles Reeve's life from his acting career, including his role as Superman, to his activism for spinal cord injury research and disability rights following a 1995 accident.
 
James Naughton, a two-time Tony Award-winning actor with a history at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, including a 1994 production of "Love Letters" with Christopher Reeve, will be a special guest at the event.
 
Tickets for general admission are $75 per person, and VIP tickets, which include the reception, are $125 per person. VIP tickets are limited due to space constraints. Tickets can be purchased here. Images Cinema is located at 50 Spring St.

BHS' New North County Urgent Care Center Opens Tuesday

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff

There is a waiting area and reception desk to the right of the Williamstown Medical entrance. 
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Staff and contractors were completing the final touches on Monday to prepare for the opening of Berkshire Health System's new urgent care center. 
 
Robert Shearer, administrative director of urgent care, said the work would be done in time for Berkshire Health Urgent Care North to open Tuesday at 11 a.m. in a wing of Williamstown Medical on Adams Road.  
 
The urgent care center will occupy a suite of rooms off the right side of the entry, with two treatment rooms, offices, amenities, and X-ray room. 
 
"This is a test of the need in the community, the want in the community, to see just how much we need," said Shearer. "One thing that I think Berkshire Health Systems has always been really good at is kind of gauging the need and growing based on what the community tells us. 
 
"And so if we on day one and two and three, find that we're filling this up and maybe exceeding the capacity of the two exam rooms and one provider, then we look to expand it."
 
Hours will be weekdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and weekends from 8 to noon, but the expectation is that the center will "expand those hours pretty quick."
 
BHS has two urgent care centers in Lenox and in Pittsfield. The health system had tried a walk-in center at Williamstown nearly a decade ago but shuttered over low volume of patients.
