Welcome to the Arts Council of South Wood County

Thank you for checking out our web site! This is the place where you can find out all about our 2018-19 performance season. While you’re visiting our site, you can also get tickets to the Lincoln High School performances that are presented throughout the school year, so remember to check for those also. We have partnered with their theatre department for ticket sales, and you can get yours here for all of their shows. “Out of Order” is being presented in January. When you purchase online, you may either print tickets at home or request to either have us mail them to you for not additional cost or hold them for you at the Will Call table for pick-up the day of the performance. If you prefer to buy in person or by phone, contact the Arts Council during regular office hours.

It is hard to believe that our season is half over already! We have nearly completed programming for our 2019/2020 season, so stay tuned for that announcement, coming soon.

Sammy Miller and The Congregation, our January show, shared the following original Christmas song with us. Take a few minutes to watch it–I think you’ll love it!! (Then get your tickets right on this site!) Music Video: https://youtu.be/ncjOU5W69c8

Two of our season’s shows are selling out quickly, so you might want to make plans now for the Church Basement Ladies’ Rise Up O Men and Stayin’ Alive, a Bee Gees tribute group. We also have a limited number of seats available for the dinner that’s being served just prior to the Rise Up O Men performance, so be sure to check that out as well. (Reservations for the dinner will close on February 14, or sooner, if sold out.)

I saw a quote from Elton John recently with which I couldn’t agree more: “Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.” Every performance I have the opportunity to attend creates a mini get-away from this hectic world. This reminded me that Arts Council gift certificates or show tickets make wonderful gifts for someone you know who could use a little healing. (And that might mean treating yourself as well!)

We are so thankful for our show sponsors! Please show you appreciate them as well by supporting these businesses:

• Aspirus
• B104.9 FM (Muzzy Broadcasting)
• Hotel Mead
• Mead Witter Foundation, Inc.
• Quality Plus Printing
• Solarus
• Stifel (Terry Lang)
• WFHR-WLJY Radio
• Wisconsin Rapids City Times
• WSPT (Muzzy Broadcasting)

Thanks so much for attending our shows. We love seeing you fill those seats and enjoying each show!

We wish you a new year filled with blessings. See you at the PAC…

Sally Kissner, Executive Director
