open DCCA’s Family Theatre Series
Darke County Center for the Arts will open their Family Theatre Series
season at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Sunday,
November 18 with “Playing By Air,” a trio of artists in a comedic
performance featuring juggling, music, and circus. According to DCCA
Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, the show features an electrifying
display of lights, color, and motion featuring engaging characters and
musical instruments that fly through the air. “’This imaginative
theatrical experience is full of breathtaking feats, creative silly
stuff, and more,” Mr. Rawlins stated. “’Playing by Air’s” contagious
comedy and high energy performances are guaranteed to captivate
audience members of all ages,” he concluded. The show starts at 2 p.m.
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series was inaugurated in 1997 to provide local
youngsters and their parents the opportunity to experience the joy of
theatre at an accessible cost. Other productions in the 2018-2019
season include Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s glowing production of
Rainbow Fish, based on the classic children’s book, on Sunday, February
10, and on Sunday, April 7 “Underneath a Magical Moon from Tutti
Fruitti Productions, a re-imagining of the Peter Pan tale as it would
be told by Wendy. General admission tickets for each of the Family
Theatre presentations cost $5; tickets for the entire season are
available for just $12.
