The Community Players of Greene County have switched shows, due to circumstances beyond their control.

Member Clay Ross says they wanted to do “Annie” at the end of February, but a national tour of the musical will also be in Iowa that same month and the Players couldn’t obtain the rights to it. So instead, the Players will perform “Wizard of Oz.” It is the story of a farm girl from Kansas who gets swept off to another land by a twister.

Open auditions will be held from January 3rd through the 5th at the Greene County High School auditorium from 6 to 8pm. Sheliah McGregor Pound will be the director. To give them more rehearsal time, the performance dates have been pushed back to March 18th through the 20th.

The Players plan to do “Annie” later this fall.
