The
Bistro Off Broadway Sponsors Sold Out DCCA Shows
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Ted and Diana Abney, owners
of The Bistro Off Broadway, for their sponsorship of DCCA's 2016-2017
Connections Season and for their continued support of the arts in Darke
County.
The Abney’s recently hosted and sponsored the sold out Coffee House
Series performance of "Blues from the Heart of the Rock & Roll
City" featuring Cleveland blues singers Austin "Walkin' Cane" and
Kristine Jackson. According to DCCA’s Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins, “The Abney’s are a great example of strong community
supporters; they not only strengthen downtown Greenville by providing a
full service restaurant, but also enhance the quality of life in our
community by supporting the performing arts and making it possible for
DCCA to present high quality artists at a reasonable ticket price.”
According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, longtime friends and
Cleveland residents Kristine Jackson and Austin “Walkin’ Cane”
Charangat have previously wowed local audiences with their solo
sold-out shows. “When Kristine performed at the Bistro last year, we
immediately had requests to bring her back soon; when “Walkin’ Cane was
here the year before that, the audience demanded a quick return,” Mr.
Rawlins said. “DCCA is thrilled to be able to give the people what they
want—outstanding artists with unquestionably excellent talent,” Rawlins
commented.
The Bistro Off Broadway and Ted & Diana Abney were also spotlight
sponsors for the sold out Artists Series presentation of We Banjo 3 at
Memorial Hall in February.
