WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School announced its upcoming production of "Into the Woods," with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine.

According to a press release:
 
A modern twist on the beloved brothers Grimm fairy tales, Into the Woods follows the journey of familiar storybook characters, each of whom has a fervent desire that prompts them to journey "into the woods." Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them with disastrous results.
 
The production features a cast and crew of more than 50 students from grades 7- 12, and showcases the work of Jeffrey Welch, in his 27th season as director at Mount Greylock, and vocal director Jacqueline Vinette, the school’s choral and band director.
 
Tickets: Purchase tickets at the door, or by visiting the school website at www.mgrhs.org . Prices are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $5 for nondistrict students. The box office is cashless, so patrons should plan to pay electronically or with a credit card.

Reminder to Lanesborough, Williamstown Voters: Mount Greylock School Committee a 'Write-In' Election

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Politicians and pundits in recent years have been preaching patience when it comes to getting election night results.
 
That usually means places like California, where vote-counting can be complicated or Michigan, where razor thin margins are anticipated.
 
Add Williamstown and Lanesborough to that list.
 
It is not a matter of pre-election polling suggesting particularly tight races; there is no such polling. Rather, it is a question of how voters will be making their selections in the race for the Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee.
 
None of the six candidates who qualified for four seats up for grabs on the panel appear on the ballots that have been mailed out, used in early voting or will be distributed at the polls on Nov. 3.
 
That means that all votes will be cast as write-ins, and that means it will take significantly longer for election workers to tally up votes in the local election once the polls close at 8 p.m. at Lanesborough Town Hall and Williamstown Elementary School.
 
As always, voters in both towns vote for all four seats on the ballot: two seats for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents in this year’s balloting.
