DCCA
presents re-imagined Peter Pan as told by Wendy Darling
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Underneath a Magical
Moon, a retelling of the Peter Pan tale from the perspective of an
up-to-date Wendy Darling, on Sunday, April 7 at Henry St. Clair
Memorial Hall in Greenville; the last presentation of DCCA’s 2018-2019
Family Theatre season, the show starts at 2 p.m. From Tutti Frutti
Productions, a children’s theatre company based in the U.K., the show
has won highly positive response in its native land, and is now touring
internationally.
According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Underneath a Magical
Moon will enthrall adults and delight children with its imaginative
story-telling , exquisite music, and talented cast. “A magical, yet
down-to-earth modern-day version of this classic tale, this show will
transport its audience from an ordinary twentieth-century backyard to
Neverland and back,” Mr. Rawlins stated. “Truly a wonderful and warm
piece of theatre, Underneath a Magical Moon is simply delightful, and
will happily convince you that nothing is impossible if you just close
your eyes and believe,” he said.
Sponsors of DCCA’s Family Theatre Series are Second National Bank,
Greenville Federal, James Steyer Fund of 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. This performance is made
possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature

quality arts experience to strengthen Ohio communities culturally,
educationally, and economically. 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
