Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Contributes to
DCCA
The Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund has recently awarded funds to
Darke County Center for the Arts to support the Family Theater Series
and Arts in Education programs. According to a DCCA
representative, DCCA presents and promotes performing and fine arts,
encouraging cultural enrichment in the community. DCCA is also
committed to the preservation of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall as an
important cultural center.
DCCA presents three shows annually in the Family Theatre Series; these
programs are generally based on children’s literature. The
next and final performance in this series, Leland Faulkner’s World of
Wonder, will take place on Sunday, March 13, 2011, 2:00 P.M. at St.
Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville.
The Arts in Education program annually presents performances to every
grade level in all Darke County and Greenville City schools.
Artists are escorted to schools by volunteers during a week long
residency, generally performing twice a day, with the exception of the
Jr. High school artists who usually present at St. Clair Memorial Hall
with students being transported from the schools. DCCA works in
close cooperation with the Darke County Office of Education to choose
presentations appropriate for grade levels and coordinate performance
schedules with schools.
According to DCCA Executive Director Julie Strait, local support is
essential in order for Darke County Center for the Arts to provide
programs which inspire creativity, educate, and entertain the children
and youth of our community. For more information regarding
these programs, contact Julie Strait at DCCA by telephone at
937-547-0908 or e-mail at DCCA@CenterForArts.net.
