Darke County Center for the Arts will present Mermaid Theatre’s Guess How Much I Love You on Sunday, April 8 at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville. The final production of DCCA’s 2017-2018 Family Theatre Series season, this adaption of Sam McBratney’s award-winning book will be accompanied by an equally beloved tale celebrating the joy of reading, I Love My Little Storybook. The show begins at 2 p.m.

According to Keith Rawlins, Mermaid Theatre ranks among North America’s most respected presenters of productions for children. “This innovative show will charm adults and delight youngsters,” Mr. Rawlins said. “The timeless story of the Nutbrown Hares competition measuring their love for one another has won readers’ hearts ever since Guess How Much I Love You was first published in 1995; the accompanying piece, I Love My Little Storybook featuring a whimsical menagerie of animals and imaginary creatures, rounds out a fantastic opportunity for families to discover the magic of theatre,” he concluded.

DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is celebrating it’s twentieth year of presenting professional touring productions for children and their families; sponsorships make possible the attractively low ticket prices for these shows. Sponsors include 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. 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.
