Here are the top stories in Bedford today:

1. We're off to see the Wizard... at Bedford High School. See the wonderful Wizard of Oz, the scarecrow, the tin man, Dorothy... "and her little dog too!" at Bedford High School's production of The Wizard of Oz. Book your seat to catch this musical performance on Nov. 11- 13, and Nov. 18-20. Tickets are only $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students. (Bedford Patch)
2. Do you want to laugh away your "seasonal allergies"? See the production of Seasonal Allergies, a comedy by Katherine DiSavino and Kevin Mead, in which everything that could go wrong over the holiday season—does! Performances will be on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 13, at 2 p.m.. at The Majestic Theatre Studios. (Bedford Patch)
3. The Bedford Police department announced that its business phone line will not be available due to a phone system upgrade on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 7 a.m. The system upgrade is expected to take about three hours and "911 calls will not be affected." The BPD noted: "If you need to reach the BPD during this time, please call 603-471-0353. This phone number is only an interim number and not to be used regularly." (Bedford Patch)
4. A shoutout to Bedford Star Student Athlete Kendal, who brings her "A-game" to other parts of her life. At Patch, we’re working to let our neighbors "get to know the individual stories behind the leaderboard" and recognize hometown athletes in Bedford who are also "making a difference" in our community. Melissa Joyce nominated Kendal of Bedford, who "works hard to maintain her grades" and is a year-round athlete, who "volunteers her time when she can." Melissa noted Kendal is an honor student in math, art, and science—and is a "shining star on the field, on the ice, on the track." Know an outstanding student athlete? Nominate them as a Patch Star Student Athlete. (Bedford Patch)
