DCCA Family Theatre
“If You Give a Mouse
a Cookie” opens DCCA Series
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Theatreworks USA's
production of the popular children's book If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on Sunday December 2; the show begins
at 2 p.m. Based on Laura Numeroff's classic book plus several other
delightful stories, the show features music by an impressive roster of
songwriters including some Tony-award winning composers. The story of a
young boy who sees a charming litany of unforeseen circumstances unfold
after he shares his cookie with a hungry mouse, If You Give A Mouse A
Cookieintroduces the concept of “cause and effect” to young audiences
as they giggle at the ensuing chain reaction.
According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Theatreworks USA
plays a wide range of venues from large performing arts centers in
major metropolitan areas to elementary school cafeterias in small
communities across the nation. “Theatreworks has a distinguished
history of not only providing young audiences with their first taste of
theatre, but also giving young actors, writers, directors, and
designers an early opportunity to work in their chosen field,” Rawlins
explains.

Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Jean
Louise Thieme Fund of the Hope Foundation, Edison Community College,
The Andersons, Dr. Doug Gordon, Greenville Rotary Club, Jordan
