Healthcare Sponsors DCCA’s 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. “Wayne Hospital has been a
wonderful
supporter of the arts for children and families in our community for
many
years; we greatly appreciate their sponsorship which enables DCCA to
bring
professional theatre groups to St. Clair Memorial Hall at an affordable
ticket
cost,” said DCCA Director Julie Strait.
According to
Strait, the goal of DCCA’s Family Theatre
Series is to encourage cultural enrichment in our community, inspiring
the imaginations
of the young and young at heart, and encouraging the expression of
creativity. The
series attracts a
wide-ranging audience that 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. on Sunday afternoons.
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 will open December 2
with TheatreworksUSA’s presentation of If You Give A Mouse A Cookie and
other
