DCCA presents
humorous salute to Baby Boom years
Darke County Center for the Arts will present The Wonder Bread Years
starring former Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell at Henry St. Clair Memorial
Hall in Greenville on Saturday, October 13 at 8 p.m. Merging stand-up
and theatre, the production tells of Hazell’s experiences growing up
during the baby boom years, communicating universal truths while
humorously recalling the mythical period when a child’s only
responsibility was to play, eat and sleep. “Pat Hazell involves the
audience in his show while he tells dozens of stories remembering
Slinkys, lawn darts, and vintage TV jingles,” said DCCA Artistic
Director Keith Rawlins. “The Wonder Bread Years will not only bring
smiles to the faces of Baby Boomers, but will entertain audiences of
all ages by hilariously evoking the wonder of it all,” Mr. Rawlins
concluded.
According to Mr. Rawlins, this nostalgic show is an especially
appropriate fit for DCCA’s Artists Series as it celebrates forty years
of presentations. “Looking back at the history lived by Baby Boomers is
also a look back at the era when DCCA was formed; while much change has
occurred, memorable DCCA moments remain an important factor in our
lives today just as Pat Hazell’s recollections touch on the staying
power of childhood experiences throughout life,” the Artistic Director
stated.
Midmark Corporation is sponsoring The Wonder Bread Years. The Ohio Arts
Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage
economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all
Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and
Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation,
Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H.
Knick Fund of Darke County Foundation. DCCA membership contributions
also help support this show.
