ADAMS, Mass.—Images Cinema and the Adams Theater will hold a series of film screenings this fall.

The theater will show selections from the 1930s-1960s from September 12 - October 10. All shows are at 7 PM and are ticketed events; visit the Adams Theater website to reserve tickets. Tickets are $8 ($9.50 including fees). 

The Shows

9/12 - 7 PM: Modern Times

9/19 - 7 PM: The Wizard of OZ

9/20 - 7 PM: Casablanca

9/26 - 7 PM: Rebel without a Cause

10/3 - 7 PM: Vertigo

10/10 - 7PM: The Graduate

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."

Adams Lions Club Makes Anniversary Donations

ADAMS — To celebrate the 85th anniversary of receiving its charter, the Adams Lions Club awarded a total of $8,500 — $100 for each year of the club's existence — to four local organizations. 
 
These awards are in addition to the club's annual donations, such as for scholarships for local high school graduates and events for children and senior citizens.
 
Adams Beautification, Adams Fire Department, Adams Forest Wardens, and Adams Free Library received the awards, which were presented at an 85th anniversary celebration Nov. 21 at the Bounti-Fare restaurant.
 
"The motto of Lionism is 'We Serve,'" Adams Lions Club President Peter Tomyl said. "What better way to celebrate our anniversary than serving local organizations in need of support?"
 
Adams Beautification will use its grant to purchase flowers, mulch and other supplies for the public areas, such as the Route 8 rotary, Visitors Center and Adams Train Station, that it decorates seasonally to make the town more welcoming and attractive.
 
The Adams Fire Department and Forest Wardens will use their grants to upgrade equipment through the purchase of smooth-bore nozzles that reach farther than current nozzles and are easier for firefighters to handle, said Fire Chief John Pansecchi.
 
The Adams Free Library will use its grant to present two of the seven events scheduled as part of its 2025 summer reading program for children. The Science Heroes will present its Experiment Lab program for readers in Grades 6 to 12, and a former competitor in the Rubik's Cube World Championship will offer a workshop for kindergartners and up about how to crack the code of the Rubik's Cube.
