Avoiding if..elsif statements
unexpected

I have a program where based on a specific value from a dictionary, I
call a different function. Currently, I've implemented a bunch of
if..elsif statements to do this, but it's gotten to be over 30 right
now and has gotten rather tedious. Is there a more efficient way to do
this?
Code:
value = self.dictionary.get(keyword)[0]
if value == "something":
somethingClass.func()
elsif value == "somethingElse":
somethingElseClass.func()
elsif value == "anotherthing":
anotherthingClass.func()
elsif value == "yetanotherthing":
yetanotherthingClass.func()
Is it possible to store these function calls in a dictionary so that I
could just call the dictionary value?
