GREENWOOD, S.C. — Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion are headed to Greenwood next week. Eighth graders in the Brewer Middle School ACTS magnet program will perform The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition in two public shows inside the Greenwood 50 Performing Arts Center.

Curtain time is 6 p.m. on both Wednesday, Nov. 18, and Thursday, Nov. 19. The arts center is at 1816 Cokesbury Road in Greenwood.

Every person who comes needs a ticket, no matter how young. Buying early saves money: seats are $10 through 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17, and go up to $15 on Nov. 18, the opening night. Greenwood School District 50 has pointed families to a QR code on its event flyer to buy tickets.

The show is the program’s yearly fall musical, a tradition for each class in its final year at Brewer. A Brewer ACTS drama teacher in her second year with the magnet program, who is also active in community theater around Greenwood, is directing the production.

ACTS stands for Arts, Communication and Theater, and it is the oldest magnet program in District 50. Students in sixth through eighth grade apply and audition to get in, then take classes in dance, drama, voice, visual arts and band as part of the school day.

Families with younger students who want to try out for the program will not have to wait long. District 50 opens its next ACTS application round on Dec. 2.
