Main Street Stage is hosting series of one-act plays culled from its recent comptition.
There are apparently plenty of aspiring playwrights in the are because the nonproft theater was deluged with 60 scripts! The best are being produced over the past two weekends.
There’s still Friday and Saturday, Jan. 30 and 31, to catch a rising writer at the North Adams theater. You never know, you might be watching the novice efforts of a future Tony winner.
Click here to reserve a seat online or call 413-663-3240. Tickets are $10.
There’s some music happenings this weekend, too.
Cultural Pittsfield sent us a heads up on this bash. We’ll let them describe it:
“When worlds collide: don’t miss the Zeitgeist-sponsored dance party at Pittsfield’s iconic Debbie Wong’s Chinese Restaurant – you heard right! DJ Jerrid Coty sez: ‘OK, I know it’s a strange venue but it should be pretty sweet.’ Enjoy fearsome Scorpion Bowls, plus free egg rolls with every drink!”How could we say it better than that? The dancin’ starts Saturday, Jan. 31, from 8 to midnight at the 315 Dalton Ave. restaurant. Admission is $8. Can we get goldfingers with that?

Catch something at the first annual Jim Lambert Fishing Derby on Pontoosuc Lake from 8 to 1 on Saturday.
Then Sunday, head to Berkshire Community College for the annual Not Your Average Dog Show. If you haven’t already registered your pooch, registration is $15 at the door.
It’s too late to get in for the “Pleasures of Paris” at the Clark Art on Saturday night (iBerkshires will tell you all about it), but you can spend a snowy Sunday afternoon at the opening of “Toulouse-Lautrec and Paris.”
The exhibit runs through April 26 and celebrates the Clark’s extensive collection of the artist’s work, exploring the themes and sites that inspired him and his contemporaries. Organizers say it provides “a vibrant picture of Paris at the end of the 19th century. “
Oooh-lala! Plus admission to the world-class museum is free right now!
