Edison sponsors DCCA programs

Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes the Edison Community College for their support of the arts in Darke County.  DCCA thanks Edison Community College for their contribution to the 2014-2015 Arts in Education and Family Theatre Series programs.  Family Theater Series programs are presented at St. Clair Memorial Hall and are open to the public.  Programs are generally based on children’s literature; ticket prices are just $5.  Through Arts In Education, and in conjunction with local schools, performing artists are annually taken to each grade of every public school in Darke County, ensuring that children in the community have the opportunity to learn and grow through the arts. 

According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan,  “Edison Community College’s support of children’s programming makes it possible for us to present wonderful, creativity enhancing Family Theatre Series programs at an affordable ticket price, and enables all Darke County public school students to experience a culturally enriching artistic program each year.”  Jordan continued, “DCCA thanks Edison Community College for their strong support of the arts in Darke County and forwarding DCCA’s mission to encourage cultural enrichment in the community.” 
 
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series presents three shows each season 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.  The 2014-2015 series included three performances; Theatreworks USA presented Skippy Jon Jones, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Schoolhouse Rock Live!
