Experience Leland Faulkner’s World of Wonder

Edison Community College has donated funds to Darke County Center for the Arts’ Family Theater and Arts In Education programs. 

World of Wonder is the final program in DCCA’s Family Theatre series and will be presented at St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Sunday, March 13, 2011. Leland Faulkner begins his program by informing the audience that his job is to help others see the extra-ordinary in the every-day things of life.  A true shadowgraph artist (having consulted on The Polar Express movie), Leland proves that our hands are amazing tools, that a piece of paper can do so much more than just lay on a desk, and that there is wonder to be found in magic from the Far East.

The show begins at 2:00 pm and will last approximately one hour.  This program is appropriate for youngsters ages 2 to 92.  Tickets are $5 and may be purchased at Readmore’s Hallmark in Greenville, and at Worch Memorial Public Library in Versailles.  Tickets may also be purchased at the door the day of the show.

DCCA’s Arts In Education program, in conjunction with Greenville City and Darke County schools, annually takes a performing arts program to all grades of all Greenville City and Darke County schools.  According to Strait, “one of DCCA’s primary goals is to ensure that children in our community have an opportunity to learn and grow through a wide variety of artistic performances; it takes numerous sponsors to make that happen and we are grateful to Edison Community College for offering their support.”  Leland Faulkner toured all Darke County schools the week of March 7, taking his “World Of Wonder” to students in grades 4 through 6.
