Dr. Gordon’s sponsorship helps enable DCCA to present high quality artistic performances for youngsters and their families at a low ticket-price of $5. According to Strait, the goal of DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is to inspire the imaginations of the young and young at heart, encouraging the expression of creativity. The series attracts a wide-ranging audience that includes many preschool children enjoying their first theater experience, as well as senior citizens who enjoy the shows’ strong depiction of traditional values.
Performance times are scheduled to fit conveniently into most schedules at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoons. Most Family Theatre Series productions are original musicals based on popular tales adapted from current and classic children’s literature, although non-theatrical creativity -inspiring performances are presented as well.
DCCA is proud to be presenting its 34th season of high quality professional performing artists in Darke County. Family Theater Series presentations in the 2012/2013 season will open December 2 with TheatreworksUSA’s presentation of If You Give A Mouse A Cookie and other storybooks. Imaginative adaptations of Guess How Much I Love You and I Love My Little Storybook will be presented by Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia on January 27, 2013. American Family Theater’s musical rendition of Sleeping Beauty will end the series on April 24, 2013.
