DCCA Arts in
Education presents Kid Power’s Operation Lunch Line
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Kid Power’s Operation
Lunch Line for kindergarten through third grade students in all local
public schools during the week of November 13. Operation Lunch Line, an
interactive musical show designed to help children learn the value of
good nutrition and exercise, uses three-dimensional special effects to
take the youngsters on a journey inside the human body of a boy named
Max, ultimately learning that each student has the “kid power” needed
to make choices that enhance their health.
“Kid Power initially captures imaginations and engages minds because
he’s a modern day superhero,” explained Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic
Director. “The show then incorporates the components of musical theatre
with audience participation and 3-D technology to teach the value of
healthy eating and benefits of regular exercise to audiences who feel
thoroughly entertained while they are learning important skills and
behaviors,” Rawlins concluded.
DCCA’s Arts In Education program annually presents high-quality artists
who perform for students in every grade level in all Darke County and
Greenville City schools at no cost to the students. DCCA’s Arts In
Education Series is sponsored by Bach to Rock, Gordon Orthodontics,
DP& L Company Foundation, Greenville Federal, Maid Rite Sandwich
Shoppe, Edison State Community College, Richard Baker, and
Littman-Thomas Agency. DCCA also receives support from Ketrow
Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust, Harry D. and Esther
Stephens Memorial, Mandy Green Fund of the Darke County Foundation,
Oliver Family Fund of the Darke County Foundation, and The Helen Hawkey
Music Project. DCCA memberships and the local schools also help fund
A.I.E. Programming. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund this
program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
Operation Lunch Line performances are free and open to the public.
Times and dates for Arts In Education performances are coordinated with
the school’s schedules; for more information regarding specific show
times, contact DCCA at dcca@centerforarts.net or by calling
