Feltmans help take
“DCCA On the Road”
David and Roberta Feltman of Greenville have graciously committed funds
to cover the cost of transportation when DCCA initiates its newest form
of promoting the arts, “DCCA On The Road.” While Darke County
Center for the Arts is proud to present many high quality professional
artists and a variety of art forms in our community, there are some
things that can’t be successfully presented at St. Clair Memorial Hall
due to stage limitations, flooring requirements, and other
factors. “DCCA On The Road” is being introduced to provide
opportunities for those who wish to attend performances that cannot be
presented locally.
The first road trip will be to Carmel, Indiana to see a world-class
contemporary dance company from New York City. Parsons Dance will
be performing at the Tarkington Theatre at the Center for Performing
Arts in Carmel on Saturday, June 23. Parsons Dance tours
nationally and internationally and is comprised of ten full-time
dancers. In addition to touring an average of 32 weeks per
year, Parsons Dance has been showcased on PBS, Bravo, A&E Network,
and the Discovery Channel, receiving high acclaim and rave
reviews. At the Tarkington Theatre, the dance company will
be performing choreographer David Parsons’ signature piece, “Caught,”
and his original dance musical, “Remember Me,” featuring ten dancers,
two vocalists, beautiful orchestral music, lighting and sound.
DCCA’s first road trip is truly made special through a local
connection. Ian Spring, grandson of David and Roberta Feltman and
son of Bruce and Lisa Feltman Spring, is one of the ten dancers
comprising Parsons Dance. Ian grew up in Middletown, Ohio where
he began his training under the direction of Phyllis DeWeese. He
attended Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from where
he graduated summa cum laude with his B.A. in Dance. Ian has
worked with Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and joined Parsons Dance
in August 2010. A New York critic has called Ian, “the guy with
the million dollar smile.”
Tickets for the “DCCA On The Road” trip to Carmel, Indiana on June 23
are $60, which covers the cost of the show and transportation. A
coach with seating for 24 will leave the Greenville Kroger parking lot
at 3:00 pm. 5:00 Dinner reservations have been made at Mangia
Italian Restaurant. Dinner cost is not included in the ticket
price. Parson’s Dance performs at 8:00 pm, with anticipated coach
arrival back in Greenville by midnight.
Seating on the coach is limited and tickets must be reserved in advance
with payment received by May 15 to ensure your place on the coach and
at the theatre. Contact DCCA at 937-547-0908 or
DCCA@CenterForArts.net for information and reservations. Thanks
to David and Roberta Feltman for supporting DCCA’s latest endeavor to
promote the arts.
