DCCA brings
unique show to Bistro Off Broadway
Darke County Center for the Arts will present a unique blend of music,
theatre, and comedy at The Bistro Off Broadway on Thursday, February 22
as part of their 2017-2018 Coffeehouse Series. The show entitled “6
Guitars” stars musician, singer, actor Chase Padgett who channels six
different guitar players during his performance, each with a distinct
voice and musical style. “This is a masterful tour de force performance
that has earned numerous awards, rave reviews, and standing ovations
all over the world,” DCCA Artistic Director said Keith Rawlins. “Chase
Padgett convincingly creates unforgettable charismatic characters who
share their stories and play their music; the show is hilarious,
charming and sometimes surprisingly poignant, and can be enjoyed by
fans of all music genres, be it blues, rock, jazz, classical, country
and folk,” Rawlins concluded.
According to Mr. Rawlins, Chase Padgett created his one-man show in an
attempt to combine all of the things he wanted to do—acting, music, and
story-telling--while working at Orlando, Florida theme parks
immediately after earning his college degree in arts and music. The
resulting performance at the 2010 Orlando Fringe Festival was greeted
with standing ovations and sold out houses, and the show has gone on to
win the hearts of audiences across the globe.
