Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — Artists Joe Wheaton and musician Geoffrey Carter are collaborating at the Adams Theater this Halloween for a multisensory electronic dance experience, "AV Club," with visuals and DJs Glass Arrowhead, Jason Manatee, H2GO, and TruSounds. 
 
The show will take place from 8pm-midnight on Oct. 31, with 20 percent of profits going to the ACLU. Tickets are $35 at the door; get tickets for $25 in advance at adamstheater.org/events
 
Snacks and bar drinks will be available. Costumes are optional. 
 
Wheaton is an artist who has lived in the Berkshires for decades and has done lots of visual installations for years, many at the Adams Theater (he’s also a board member). Carter is a musician and producer who grew up in the Berkshires and runs BeatNest, a popular local program that introduces kids in the Berkshires to electronic music.
 
Weaton will work from inside a giant birdcage as he runs his visual installation, which will combine disparate footage of costumed humans "from Burning Man to ethnic tribal people of Burma" to create a surreal feeling against dance music, niche hip hop, and drum and bass. 
 
The Adams Theater participates in Mass Cultural Council's Card to Culture program, in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Women, Infants & Children Nutrition Program, and the Mass Health Connector.
 
EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders receive free admission to our shows and events by presenting their cards at our Box Office. See the complete list of participating organizations offering EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare discounts.

ADAMS, Mass. — Several agencies responded to Summer Street on Friday morning for a reported homicide but soon discovered they had been swatted. 
 
The call came into the Police Department at 4:20 a.m., reporting that there had been a homicide at an address on Summer Street. The department has not released the address. 
 
"An investigation was conducted and contact was made with the parties who resided in the home, and it was determined to be a fake report," Cpl. Joshua Baker said. 
 
No injuries occurred during the incident. Initially responding were patrol units from the Adams Police Department, followed by a mutual aid request for State Police of the Cheshire Barracks and the North Adams Police Department. 
 
Emergency medical services from Northern Berkshire EMS and tactical response from the Berkshire County Special Response Team also responded. The entire incident was cleared within a couple of hours.
