| | | | | Ride in style: bike rentals @ MASS MoCA ! | | 
Looking to explore North Adams but want to reduce your carbon footprint?
Enter MASS Transit, MASS MoCA's newly introduced bike rental program. A helpful and environmentally friendly mode of transportation to reach downtown North Adams and neighboring towns, the program is being met with oodles of enthusiasm from museum visitors, visiting artists, staff and friends of the museum.
MASS MoCA bike rentals are uber- affordable, only $3 for an hour and you just have to leave a license, credit card, or deposit at the museum store. You can bike until closing time of the museum, 6pm during the summer and 5pm during the fall and spring. The season for the bike rentals will be from April through October or "until they put salt on the roads."

You Better Sit Down: tales from my parents' divorce @ WTF, August 16 - 21
Crafted from interviews between the cast and their own parents, You Better Sit Down is an alternately heartbreaking and hilarious look at the stories behind the statistics of one of the most prominent social phenomena of our time. Shockingly candid, these delicate parent-child conversations, with the actors playing their own parents, yield unique insights into falling in love, falling out of love, and rebuilding a life after the complex experience of dividing a family.
