Darke
County Center for the Arts
AIE Series opens with Exploring
the World of Anne Frank
Darke
County Center for the Arts will present Living Voices'
performance of Through the Eyes of a Friend, an interactive program
exploring
the world of Anne Frank, for local junior high students at Henry St.
Clair
Memorial Hall in Greenville on Thursday, October 4 and Friday, October
5. This
opening performance of DCCA's Arts In Education Series blends an
on-stage actor
with historical film footage, audio, and photographs to help the
audience
experience how the world looked, sounded, and felt during a significant
period
of history, and to turn that history into a moving personal journey.
Arts In
Education shows are presented to students at no charge, and are free
and open
to the public.
Arts
In Education is sponsored by Dayton Power and Light Company
Foundation, Greenville Federal, Maid-Rite Sandwich Shoppe, Vectren
Foundation,
Edison Community College, The Andersons Inc., BASF, Littman-Thomas
Agency, and
Mercer Savings Bank, and receives support from the Ketrow Foundation
and the
Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA also receives operating
support
from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial and the Ohio Arts
Council, which
helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic
growth,
educational excellence, and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
DCCA's
Arts In Education series presents performing artists to
students at all grade levels in each local public school. Although most
of
these programs are presented in the schools, the shows for seventh and
eighth
grade students are performed on stage at historic St. Clair Memorial
Hall,
allowing the youngsters to experience live performance in a true
theatre
environment as well as explore the heritage of this community treasure.
Performance schedules are set in cooperation with the schools. Contact
DCCA at
937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net for specific performance times
of
Through the Eyes of a Friend or to learn more about the Arts In
Education
series.
