ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Arts & Technology (BArT) Charter Public School's Theatre Department is presenting "Something's Afoot," a murder mystery, and musical comedy on Dec. 9 and 10, at 7:00 pm and Dec. 11, at 2:00 pm at the School, 1 Commercial Street. 
 
Tickets are on sale at https://somethingsafoot.brownpapertickets.com/ or may be purchased at the door. They are $10 for adults and $5 for students. 
 
According to a press release:
 
"Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country house during a raging thunderstorm. Suddenly, one by one they're picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. As the bodies pile up in the library, the survivors frantically race to uncover the identity and motivation of the cunning culprit. Something's Afoot is a zany, entertaining musical comedy that takes a satirical poke at Agatha Christie mysteries and musical styles of the English music hall of the '30s."

These six selections from the 1930s-1960s represent some of the greatest achievements in film, at a time when the original Hollywood studio system was at the height of its power. This period was also when The Adams Theater was originally operating as a movie theater. Come catch a flick and drink in some nostalgia with two Northern Berkshire theaters of a certain vintage.

"We’re excited to present the first of many future collaborations with our friends at Images Cinema," said Adams Theater founder and artistic director Yina Moore. "We have so much history and audience in common, and collaboration is at the heart of what the Adams Theater does. We’re looking forward to welcoming audience members to relive some Hollywood–and Berkshire–history."  

"Images is especially excited to have The Adams among our collaborators this year, and first out of the gate," says Dan Hudson, Images Cinema Executive Director. "This series is all-killer, no-filler, and we're honored to receive support from an Arts Build Community grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to support an expansive vision of more film programming around the Northern Berkshires."
