Award-winning physical-comedian Robert Post will perform for local junior high students at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Thursday, December 8. Earlier this year, Darke County Center for the Arts presented the actor/mime/juggler/comedian in all local high schools; his return engagement will offer seventh and eighth grade students the opportunity to experience a professional theatrical performance in a classic theatre setting. “Robert Post has performed in theaters across the globe,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “DCCA is excited about presenting this creative genius in Darke County's own little gem of a theater where his ingenious shows can educate, entertain, engage, and inspire students to explore their own potential,” Mr. Rawlins explained.
DCCA's Arts In Education series annually presents high quality performing artists to all grade levels in all local public school systems at no cost to the students; these performances are also open to the public. A.I.E. is sponsored by Dayton Power and Light Company Foundation, Bocholt Foundation, Greenville Federal, Maid-Rite Sandwich Shoppe, Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, The Andersons, Edison Community College, Littman-Thomas Agency, Mercer Savings Bank, Greenville Rotary Club, and BASF. Support is also received from Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial Fund, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, Ketrow Foundation, as well as the schools. Additionally, the Ohio Art Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
