Looking for something to do this weekend? The curtain is certainly going up on a number of stages around the Juniata Valley this weekend.

Check out these five events:

Mifflin County Drama Club Presents "The Wizard of Oz"

Follow the yellow brick road as the Mifflin County High School Drama Club presents their 2024 musical production of "The Wizard of Oz." The timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical land of Oz, also celebrates its 85th anniversary on the silver screen. Show dates are Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. at MCHS, located at 501 Sixth St., Lewistown. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased in advance at https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/78201 or one hour prior to each show.

Stone Arch Players Debut "The Tin Woman"

The Stone Arch Players debut "The Tin Woman" at the Theatre at the Park, Kishacoquillas Park, 1 Derry Park Drive, Lewistown, on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. "The Tin Woman" is the story of a woman who receives a heart transplant and her eventual meeting with the donor's family. Instead of relishing life after the transplant, the woman enters a downward spiral. Based on a true story, "The Tin Woman" uses humor and pathos to explore loss, family and what it means to be given a new lease on life. Tickets cost $12 each. "The Tin Woman" runs through March 10.
