Dr. Gordon
Supports Theater for Children
Gordon Orthodontics has generously donated funds to Darke County Center
for the Arts in support of the 2012/2013 Family Theatre Series.
“We are touched by Dr. Gordon’s commitment to enhancing the quality of
life for children in our community both in his orthodontics practice
and by helping provide opportunities for youngsters to learn and grow
through the arts,” stated DCCA Executive Director Julie Strait.
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.
Tickets to the series, including all three shows, are only $12.
Individual performances are $5 per ticket; all seats are general
admission. Tickets are available at the DCCA office located on
the third floor of the Greenville Public Library, by calling DCCA at
(937) 547-0908 or online at www.centerforarts.net
