DCCA ARTS IN EDUCATION PRESENTS KID POWER’S OPERATION LUNCH LINE

Darke County Center for the Arts will present Kid Power’s Operation Lunch Line for kindergarten through third grade students in all local public schools during the week of November 13. 
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Kid Power’s Operation Lunch Line for kindergarten through third grade students in all local public schools during the week of November 13. Operation Lunch Line, an interactive musical show designed to help children learn the value of good nutrition and exercise, uses three-dimensional special effects to take the youngsters on a journey inside the human body of a boy named Max, ultimately learning that each student has the “kid power” needed to make choices that enhance their health.

“Kid Power initially captures imaginations and engages minds because he’s a modern day superhero,” explained Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director. “The show then incorporates the components of musical theatre with audience participation and 3-D technology to teach the value of healthy eating and benefits of regular exercise to audiences who feel thoroughly entertained while they are learning important skills and behaviors,” Rawlins concluded.

DCCA’s Arts In Education program annually presents high-quality artists who perform for students in every grade level in all Darke County and Greenville City schools at no cost to the students. DCCA’s Arts In Education Series is sponsored by Bach to Rock, Gordon Orthodontics, DP& L Company Foundation, Greenville Federal, Maid Rite Sandwich Shoppe, Edison State Community College, Richard Baker, and Littman-Thomas Agency. DCCA also receives support from Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust, Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Mandy Green Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Oliver Family Fund of the Darke County Foundation, and The Helen Hawkey Music Project. DCCA memberships and the local schools also help fund A.I.E. Programming. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

Operation Lunch Line performances are free and open to the public. Times and dates for Arts In Education performances are coordinated with the school’s schedules; for more information regarding specific show times, contact DCCA at dcca@centerforarts.net or by calling 937-547-0908.
