Student-Written Play 'Rewind: A Real-Life Sitcom' to Premiere at Mount Greylock Regional School

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.

Images Cinema Community Rallies to Aid Departed Managing Director

Janet Curran's friends started a gofundme to help her through the transition.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The community is rallying to support the longtime managing director of Images Cinema after her job was eliminated late last year.

 

As of Thursday morning, a Gofundme campaign for Janet Curran had raised more than $12,500 from 90 contributors.

 

"I feel really held and supported by the community right now," Curran said this week. "I'm really moved that people appreciate the work that I did at Images."

 

Curran did that work for about a quarter of a century, first as a volunteer in 2000, then as an intern in 2002 and finally as the managing director, a position she held since 2007.

 

"If you've been to Images Cinema in the last 25 years … you've probably been helped by her, welcomed by her, or had a conversation with her that you still think about," the creators of the Gofundme campaign wrote.

 

"Janet is one of those people who makes a place worth living in. She's kind without making a show of it, dependable in a way many people aren't, and she has given more to this community than she'd ever say herself."

 

Two days before Thanksgiving 2025, Curran learned from the Spring Street theater's board of directors and Executive Director Dan Hudson that her position was being eliminated. Her last day at the non-profit movie house was Jan. 2.
