‘Tommy, the Rock Opera’ staging at Poland high

POLAND – The Pinball Wizard is coming to Poland. On May 6-8, the Poland Players will present “Tommy, the Rock Opera” at Poland Regional High School.

Shows will be at 7 p.m. May 6 and; at 2 p.m. May 8. Ticket prices are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. For more information and reservations, call 998-5400, extension 218.
