Darke County Center for the Arts
DCCA presents Llama Llama live! at Memorial Hall
Darke County Center for the Arts will close its 2019-2020 Family
Theatre Series season at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall on Sunday March
22 with a sold out presentation of Llama, Llama Live!, a new
musical from Bay Area Children’s Theatre inspired by the bestselling
Llama, Llama Red Pajama series of picture books by Anna Dewedney.
Showtime is 2 p.m. “This delightful production is full of silly
stories, funny rhymes, and lovable characters,” said DCCA Artistic
Director David Warner. “Anyone between the ages of 3 and 103 will have
a good time at this all-out llama drama,” he concluded.
The Llama, Llama books address with humor and compassion the everyday
issues of young children, telling the story of a little llama going
through the scary moments that everyone faces while growing up. This
musical version includes a variety of clever tunes created by
award-winning composer-lyricist Austin Zumbro which express a child’s
imaginary and real fears in a manner that can be enjoyed by very young
children as well as adults. “Bedtime following the first day of school
can be taxing for children and parents alike,” explained DCCA Executive
Director Andrea Jordan. “This show addresses that trauma, with a
conclusion that will undoubtedly inspire all in attendance to leave the
Hall happily doing the Bedtime Dance,” Ms. Jordan stated.
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is sponsored by the Jean Louise Thieme
Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville
Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation,
Edison State Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance
Agency, Family Health, Greenville Rotary Club, and Wayne Health Care.
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
