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 performances. 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. When you purchase tickets online, you may print them at home or request to either have us mail them to you for no 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.

May 1 is upon us and time to get your KIDS From Wisconsin tickets! They are $16 and may be purchased through this web site or by contacting the Arts Council during regular business hours (Monday – Thursday, 10-2:30). Let’s show our support of local “KID,” Megan Shields of Port Edwards. There will also be a pre-show performance by students from Rapids School of Performing Arts, so be there by 6:40 to take that in as well! Those of you who attended last year may recall that the air conditioning was in the midst of being upgraded…rest assured that the PAC will be cool for this year’s show!

While you’re here, check out the individual pages for details on our 2019/2020 season. Be sure to click on the links for a sampling of what the performance will be like. We’re excited about the entertainment we’re bringing to the PAC and have added a seventh show to the package. You will be able to select 7 shows for a 20% discount, 6 shows for a 15% discount, 5 shows for a 10% discount, or 4 shows for a 5% discount! As usual, purchasing 10 or more tickets for a single performance in one transaction will give you a 15% discount as well.

Season tickets will go on sale beginning July 29, with single tickets available for purchase on August 19, so mark your calendars!

A quote from Elton John recently caught my eye, and 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 performances. We love seeing you fill those seats and enjoying each show!

See you at the PAC…

Sally Kissner, Executive Director
