DCCA presents A
Christmas Carol at St. Clair Memorial Hall
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Charles Dickens' A
Christmas Carol at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on
Saturday, December 17 at 8 p.m. According to DCCA Artistic Director
Keith Rawlins, the beloved tale of redemption and joy will be performed
by the National Touring Company of the North County Center for the
Arts, which has been providing award-winning theater for nearly 30
years. “This production features first class professional actors, lush
costumes, and stunning sets, as well as traditional carols and a
timeless message,” Mr. Rawlins stated. “DCCA is thrilled to be able to
bring this delightful and entertaining show to our community; A
Christmas Carol provides the perfect vehicle to fill audiences of all
ages with the true spirit of the season,” he concluded.
The second production of DCCA's 2016-2017 Artists Series season, A
Christmas Carol stars Scott H. Severance as miserly Ebenezer Scrooge;
Mr. Severance, who also directs the show, says that Dickens' classic
tale, first published in 1843, presents unforgettable contrasting
images of darkness and despair, light and joy, and was one of the
greatest influences rejuvenating the old Christmas traditions of
England. DCCA officials stated that this presentation brings musical
theatre to their performing arts schedule, something often requested by
patrons but difficult to present in the space offered at St. Clair
Memorial Hall, while at the same time appropriately celebrating the
holiday season through the arts.
A Christmas Carol is sponsored by Greenville National Bank and Rodney
Oda. Additionally, 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 funding
from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and
Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, as well as DCCA memberships.
Tickets for A Christmas Carol are $25 for adults and half-price for
students, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or
dcca@centerforarts.net, and at DCCA's office located within Greenville
Public Library as well as online at www.CenterForArts.net. If any
remain by showtime, tickets will also be available at the door prior to
the performance.
