Celebrate the Holiday Season with Music & Fun from Voiceplay
Darke County Center for the Arts will present award-winning a cappella
quintet VoicePlay in concert at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on
Saturday, December 14; this special holiday event begins at 8 p.m.
“Their hilarious on-stage theatrics and amazing musical skills combine
to create inventive, unique, and memorable performances; that probably
explains why our audience demanded that we bring VoicePlay back to our
community,” said DCCA Artistic Director David Warner. “This holiday
concert is like no other, but without doubt will inspire the joy of the
season and spread holiday cheer,” he stated.
VoicePlay originally gained fame as a finalist on season four of NBC’s
The Sing-Off, and has continued to win acclaim touring across the U.S.
and around the world. According to Mr. Warner, the group’s members,
Earl Elkins, Jr., Eli Jacobson, J. None, Geoff Castellucci, and Layne
Stein, use only their own voices to create a fully orchestrated sound
while performing songs from many eras in a broad variety of styles.
“They have a lot of fun emoting and vocalizing and creating their own
musical accompaniment, and that sense of fun is transmitted to the
audience which can’t help but get caught up in the magic,” Mr. Warner
commented.
DCCA’s presentation of VoicePlay’s holiday show is sponsored by
Greenville Federal and Coppock-Hole Trust. This engagement is supported
by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is
funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional
contributions from the Ohio Arts Council and the Crane Group. 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 funding from the Ketrow
Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, Harry D. and Esther
Stephens Memorial, Inc., and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of
Darke County Foundation. DCCA membership contributions also help
support this show.
Tickets for the VoicePlay Holiday Concert are $30, and can be obtained
by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or online at
www.darkecountyarts.org. If any remain by showtime, tickets can also be
