DCCA PRESENTS HUMOROUS SALUTE TO BABY BOOM YEARS

Darke County Center for the Arts will present The Wonder Bread Years starring former Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, October 13 at 8 p.m.

Darke County Center for the Arts will present The Wonder Bread Years starring former Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, October 13 at 8 p.m. Merging stand-up and theatre, the production tells of Hazell’s experiences growing up during the baby boom years, communicating universal truths while humorously recalling the mythical period when a child’s only responsibility was to play, eat and sleep. “Pat Hazell involves the audience in his show while he tells dozens of stories remembering Slinkys, lawn darts, and vintage TV jingles,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “The Wonder Bread Years will not only bring smiles to the faces of Baby Boomers, but will entertain audiences of all ages by hilariously evoking the wonder of it all,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.

According to Mr. Rawlins, this nostalgic show is an especially appropriate fit for DCCA’s Artists Series as it celebrates forty years of presentations. “Looking back at the history lived by Baby Boomers is also a look back at the era when DCCA was formed; while much change has occurred, memorable DCCA moments remain an important factor in our lives today just as Pat Hazell’s recollections touch on the staying power of childhood experiences throughout life,” the Artistic Director stated.
