DCCA presents
Poetry Alive! at Arts Depot
Darke County Center for the Arts will open their new Coffeehouse Series
season on Thursday, October 16 at the Arts Depot in Union City with a
performance by Poetry Alive!, a group that began in 1984 with a show
before an audience of around 100 in a music hall in Black Mountain,
North Carolina, and has since performed to an audience of over 10
million throughout the world. “Poetry Alive! utilizes a team of skilled
actors to create little plays out of each poem they perform; this is
not poetry recitation, but an exciting performance that will make you
laugh, make you cry, maybe even inspire and fulfill you,” said DCCA
Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Poetry Alive! truly brings poetry
alive,” he concluded.
DCCA's Coffeehouse Series offers shows in casual social settings where
food and drink are available for purchase, providing an opportunity to
enjoy high quality professional performing artists in a relaxed
atmosphere at an economical cost. Additional Coffeehouse shows include
folksinger/songwriter John Flynn at the Coffee Pot in Greenville on
Thursday, November 6, and bluesman “Walkin' Cane” Charanghat at
Greenville's Bistro Off Broadway on Thursday, January 8, as well as
Americana duo “Tall Heights” bringing their guitar, cello and voices to
Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville on Thursday, February 5, and the
soaring harmonies and foot-tapping rhythms of acoustic musicians
Bettman and Halpin at Arcanum Historical Society's Wayne Trail House on
Thursday, April 16. All Coffeehouse shows begin at 7 p.m.
The Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen and
Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helped fund
this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
Poetry Alive! will also be performing for high school students in all
Darke County schools from October 13 – 16 as part of DCCA's Arts In
Education program, These performances are free and open to the public.
