Schaurer
Trust Sponsors DCCA Arts Programs For Children
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes the Lydia E. Schaurer
Memorial Trust for their support of the arts in Darke County.
DCCA thanks the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust for their contribution
to the 2018-2019 season and forwarding DCCA’s mission to encourage
cultural enrichment in the community. The Ketrow Foundation supports
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series and Arts in Education programs, which
benefit Darke County youth and their families. According to DCCA
Executive Director Andrea Jordan, “The Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial
Trust’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 Airon 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.
DCCA Arts In Education programs for 2018-2019 season include Kathakaar
(grades K-3) "The Spinning Storytellers" sharing history and culture of
India. Lee Murdock shares music and history of the Great Lakes (grades
4-6); Alpin Hong (grades 7 & 8) a Darke County favorite, returns
bringing his own "pianistic firebrand" to St. Clair Memorial Hall; and
Jonathan Kingham (grades 9-12) shares creative songwriting. In addition
to performing for Junior High students, Alpin Hong was also presented
as part of the DCCA Artists Series. Arts In Education artists are
generally in residence for a week as they tour all of the eight public
school districts in Darke County. These programs are open to the
public; contact the DCCA office for more information.
