WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.— Mount Greylock Regional School will present "Rewind: A Real-Life Sitcom" in the school auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road. Performances are scheduled for May 8–10 at 7 p.m.

The play centers on high school student Ashley Stevens, whose teenage life has seemingly transformed into a sitcom. The narrative includes comedic elements such as a nosy neighbor, inept antagonists at school, and improbable situations, complete with commercial breaks and the behind-the-scenes activities of a director and crew. The play explores Ashley’s attempt to understand this change and whether she desires to return to her previous reality.

"Rewind" was written and directed by Mount Greylock junior Frankie Evans. This production is Evans’ first solo writing project to be staged at the school, following last year’s "Lights Off," which Evans co-wrote. Thomas Ostheimer is serving as the faculty adviser for the production.

Tickets for the performances are $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, and $5 for non-district students. They must be purchased online through the GoFan platform at https://gofan.co/app/school/MA13751 or by scanning the QR code on show posters.

Williamstown to Apartment Dwellers: Don't Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Town meeting Thursday decided to implement a ban on smoking or vaping tobacco products in apartments with more than four units and to limit the number of days in a year that home can be rented as an "Airbnb."
 
As expected, those were two of the issues that generated discussion in a 2 1/2-hour meeting in the Mount Greylock Regional School gymnasium.
 
But, in the end, the votes were not particularly close in either case.
 
The smoking ban, which had the support of the town's Board of Health and Select Board, passed on a vote of 148-56.
 
The town clerk reported that 308 of the town's 4,677 registered voters, 6.6 percent, checked in to the meeting.
 
The short-term rental zoning bylaw regulation generated by the Planning Board, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, passed by a vote of 219-25.
 
William Raymond, who drafted the smoking ban and submitted it to the meeting by citizens petition, presented the article, No. 30 on a 32-article warrant.
