Lightwire Theater’s A Very Electric Christmas featuring a unique blend of poignant storytelling, dazzling visuals, and evocative music will open Darke County Center for the Arts’ Family Theatre Series season on Sunday, November 19 at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville. “This captivating and magical tale of adventure, friendship, and love captures the true spirit of the holiday season,” said Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director. “The creative storyline centered around a young bird named Max features delightful creatures that light up the stage, providing a wonderful show for families to enjoy together as we enter the festive holiday season,” Mr. Rawlins concluded. The show starts at 2 p.m.

According to Mr. Rawlins, Lightwire Theater has captured the imagination of local youngsters and their families with two earlier productions at St. Clair Memorial Hall which utilized Lightwire’s unique combination of electroluminescent artistry with puppetry, music, and dance. Performers wear costumes outfitted with glowing wire to bring colorful creatures to life on the darkened stage, stimulating imaginations while delighting audience members of all ages. Timeless Christmas music is featured in this show, including songs from Nat “King” Cole, Maria Carey, and Peter Illich Tchaikovsky.

DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is celebrating it’s twentieth year of presenting professional touring productions which introduce local children to the magic of theatre; sponsorships make possible the low ticket prices making this opportunity for fun-filled cultural enrichment accessible for families of all income levels. Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison State Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, Wayne Healthcare, Greenville Rotary Club, and Family Health are sponsors of DCCA’s Family Theatre Series. The series also receives support from the Jean Louise Thieme Fund of the Darke County Foundation, and DCCA memberships. Additionally, DCCA receives operating support from Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation and Lydia Schaurer Memorial. This performance is made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC), a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.
