Hospital to sponsor
Family Theatre Series
Wayne Hospital’s recent donation to Darke County Center for the Arts
will sponsor the local arts council’s Family Theatre Series.
“DCCA brings professional theatre groups to the children and families
in our community thanks in part to the support of Wayne Healthcare; we
are grateful that they show their support for the community by making
it affordable for children to learn and grow through the Arts,” said
Julie Strait, DCCA Executive Director.
According to Strait, DCCA’s Family Theatre Series attracts a
wide-ranging audience which includes many preschool children enjoying
their first theater experience, as well as senior citizens who enjoy
the shows’ strong depiction of traditional values.
Performance times are scheduled to fit conveniently into most schedules
at 2 p.m. Sundays. Most of the productions are original musicals
based on popular tales adapted from current and classic children’s
literature.
This season’s Family Theatre Series opens on November 20 with Mermaid
Theatre of Nova Scotia’s presentation of Goodnight Moon and The Runaway
Bunny. Theatre IV will present The House At Pooh Corner on March
25, 20120 and American Family Theatre will end the season with Wizard
Of Oz on May 6, 2012. All performances are at St. Clair Memorial
Hall in Greenville and are open to the public.
General Admission Tickets are $5 each, or save by purchasing all three
shows in the series for just $12. Tickets may be purchased by calling
DCCA at (937) 547-0908 or e-mail dcca@centerforarts.net.
