Chicken Dance
opens DCCA’s Family Theatre Season
Darke County Center for the Arts will open their 2016-2017 Family
Theatre Season at Versailles Performing Arts Center, 280 Marker Road,
on Sunday, November 6 with ArtsPower National Touring Theatre's
production of Chicken Dance. Based on the award winning book by Kansas
farm girl turned children's book author Tammi Sauer, Chicken Dance
tells the tale of Marge and Lola, two hilarious hens on a mission to
win tickets for the Elvis Poultry Show; the musical features songs
composed by award-winning songwriter, humorist, and record producer
John Forster. The show begins at 2 p.m.
According to DCCA officials, Chicken Dance was originally scheduled to
be performed at St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville; however, due to
a scheduling conflict the show was moved to Versailles. “In addition to
being grateful that VPAC was made available for our needs, we are
excited that Chicken Dance fits in perfectly with the poultry culture
that abounds in Versailles; what better place to present a show about
Elvis Poultry and his fans than in the Poultry Capital of the world,”
said DCCA Artistic director Keith Rawlins.
DCCA's Family Theatre Series is sponsored by Dayton Power & Light
Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson
James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison State
Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, The
Andersons Inc., Wayne Healthcare, and Greenville Rotary Club. The
series also receives support from DCCA memberships and the Jean Louise
Thieme Fund of the Darke County Foundation. The Ohio Arts Council,
Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia
Schaurer Memorial also provide operating support for DCCA.
Tickets for Chicken Dance are $5, and can be reserved by contacting
DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or purchased on-line at
www.centerforarts.net. Tickets are also available at the Greenville
Public Library, Readmore's Hallmark in Greenville, and Worch Memorial
Public Library in Versailles.
