DCCA Family
Theatre Series Season closes
Final presentation, “Guess How Much I Love You”
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Mermaid Theatre’s Guess
How Much I Love You on Sunday, April 8 at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall
in Greenville. The final production of DCCA’s 2017-2018 Family Theatre
Series season, this adaption of Sam McBratney’s award-winning book will
be accompanied by an equally beloved tale celebrating the joy of
reading, I Love My Little Storybook. The show begins at 2 p.m.
According to Keith Rawlins, Mermaid Theatre ranks among North America’s
most respected presenters of productions for children. “This innovative
show will charm adults and delight youngsters,” Mr. Rawlins said. “The
timeless story of the Nutbrown Hares competition measuring their love
for one another has won readers’ hearts ever since Guess How Much I
Love You was first published in 1995; the accompanying piece, I Love My
Little Storybook featuring a whimsical menagerie of animals and
imaginary creatures, rounds out a fantastic opportunity for families to
discover the magic of theatre,” he concluded.
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is celebrating it’s twentieth year of
presenting professional touring productions for children and their
families; sponsorships make possible the attractively low ticket prices
for these shows. Sponsors include 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, Wayne
Healthcare, Greenville Rotary Club, and Family Health. The series also
receives support from the Jean Louise Thieme Fund of the Darke County
Foundation, and DCCA memberships. Additionally, DCCA receives operating
support from Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation
and Lydia Schaurer Memorial. This performance is made possible in part
by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts
Council (OAC), a state agency that funds and supports quality arts
experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally,
and economically.
