The Anderson County Library continues its monthly Film Night at 7 p.m. Aug. 18 with the film version of the classic Broadway musical "The Wiz."
The G-rated film, directed by Sidney Lumet, features Diana Ross as a kindergarten teacher in New York City’s Harlem. Caught up in a cyclone, she’s swept to the Land of Oz, which looks a lot like Manhattan. On her trip to meet the Wizard (Richard Pryor), she’s joined by the Scarecrow (Michael Jackson), the Tin Man (Nipsy Russell) and the Cowardly Lion (Ted Ross).
The presentation will be at the Main Library, 300 N. McDuffie St., Anderson. Popcorn, candy and soda will be available for purchase, with proceeds going to the Friends of the Library.
For more information, contact Marybeth Evans, community services coordinator, at (864) 260-4500, ext. 107.
