Ketrow
Foundation supports DCCA Children Programs
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes the Ketrow Foundation for
their support of DCCA’s programs for children. “DCCA is pleased to
receive continual generous support from community organizations such as
the Ketrow Foundation. With their assistance we are able to fulfill our
mission of cultural enrichment for the community,” stated Andrea
Jordan, DCCA Executive Director.
According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan,
“Ketrow Foundation's support of children’s programming makes it
possible for us to present wonderful, creativity enhancing Family
Theatre Series programs at an affordable ticket price, and enables all
Darke County public school students to experience a professional
artistic program each year.” Jordan continued, “We are absolutely
thrilled to see the children in our community receive the benefit of
their generosity and ensuring the opportunity to learn and grow through
the arts.”
Featured productions in the 2018-2019 season include comedic juggling
performance of Playing By Air on November 18. Mermaid Theatre of Nova
Scotia’s glowing production of Rainbow Fish, based on the classic
children’s book, on Sunday, February 10, and on Sunday, April 7
Underneath a Magical Moon from Tutti Fruitti Productions, a
re-imagining of the Peter Pan tale as it would be told by Wendy. All
three performances will be on Sundays starting at 2 pm, at St. Clair
Memorial Hall. Thanks to continued community support, ticket prices
have remained at $5 since the first Family Theatre Series performance
in 1997.
