Mount Greylock Regional School presents 'Arsenic and Old Lace'

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Arsenic and Old Lace" in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown. Performances are May 8 and 9 at 7 p.m.

According to a press release: 

Charity. Hijinks. Murder. When Abby and Martha Brewster take it upon themselves to put lonely men out of their misery, their nephew Mortimer is forced to cover their tracks. Adding to the chaos are Mortimer’s brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another brother who’s a dangerous criminal, and a doctor named Einstein, but not the one you’re thinking of. Will Mortimer save his sweet, elderly aunts from spending their remaining days behind bars? Can he save his own engagement to his sweetheart, Elaine? Find out in this fast-paced, zany comedy that proves the only thing scarier than death is family. 

The play was written by Joseph Kesselring and directed by Mount Greylock senior Frances Evans. Annaly Babb-Guerra is the faculty adviser.

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

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.
