ABOUT COLLEGE COUNSELING

Spring is always a busy time of year in the College Counseling Office. Seniors are waiting to receive news, and our juniors are beginning to wade deeper into the college search process. We’re looking forward to seeing you during Family Weekend, and if you are the parent of a boarding junior, please make an appointment with your child’s college counselor during your visit. Parents of day students may make an appointment at another mutually convenient time.

APPOINTMENTS FOR FAMILIES OF BOARDING STUDENTS ARE AVAILABLE

Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Saturday, 8:30 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.Please call the College Counseling Office at (413) 529-3224 ahead of your visit to schedule a meeting.

URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL

In a city reminiscent of Batman’s Gotham, water is worth its weight in gold due to a 20-year shortage. The citizens must use toilets run by a corrupt corporation willing to do anything to make a buck. In this desolate world, one young man has decided enough is enough and begins a rebellion to save the oppressed poor. Urinetown: The Musical is an irreverent musical satire—a tale of greed, corruption, revolution, and love.

Music and Lyrics by Mark HollmannBook and Lyrics by Greg KotisDirected by Emily B. Ditkovski
