Laura Ingalls
Wilder musical comes to Memorial Hall
Darke County Center for the Arts Family Theatre Series will present
Laura Ingalls Wilder on Sunday, January 29 at 2 p.m. at Henry St. Clair
Memorial Hall in Greenville. One of the most beloved of ArtsPower
National Touring Theatre's productions, the show chronicles the
exciting adventures of the Ingalls family as they travel across the
prairie. “Each character in the show in their own way embodies the
pioneering sense of adventure that helped make our country great,” said
DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “The plot is based on Laura's
childhood experiences, but the unique story-line explores the
relationships between family members while at the same time bringing
life on the prairie alive on the stage,” Mr. Rawlins stated.
As those who are familiar with the books chronicling her life already
know, Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family faced many challenges as they
traveled across this nation's unsettled frontier of the late 1800's and
labored to establish their home. According to Mr. Rawlins, this show
features a lush musical score that captures the restlessness and
excitement of those pioneer times. “ArtsPower National Touring Theatre
is committed to enriching the lives of families through the performing
arts; Laura Ingalls Wilder provides a fine example of that commitment,”
Mr. Rawlins concluded.
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 Harry D. and Esther
Stephens Memorial Fund, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia Schaurer Memorial
also provide operating support for DCCA. 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.
