DCCA
presents Sleeping Beauty at
Versailles Performing Arts Center
Darke
County Center for the Arts
will present American Family Theater's musical adaptation of the
classic fairy
tale Sleeping Beauty at Versailles Performing Arts Center on Sunday
April 14;
this change from the originally announced venue was made necessary due
to the
temporary closure of the auditorium at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall.
The show
starts at 2 p.m.
According
to DCCA Artistic Director
Keith Rawlins, American Family Theatre is known for its colorful and
creative
productions which delight children while also charming and amusing
adults.
“Every little girl will want to see Sleeping Beauty, but AFT adds funny
and
surprising elements which will keep boys engaged and entertained as
well,”
Rawlins stated. “This show will warm the hearts of young and old alike;
it's a
great show that brings a contemporary flavor to an old favorite that's
been
re-told to generations of children,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.
DCCA's
Family Theatre Series was
created to introduce children to the wonder of theatre, and offer
families
opportunity for a shared growing experience through the arts. DCCA's
Family
Theatre Series is sponsored by Dayton Power and Light Company
Foundation,
Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Jean Louise Thieme Fund of
the Hope
Foundation, Edison Community College, The Andersons, Dr. Doug Gordon,
Greenville Rotary Club, Jordan Insurance Agencies, Wayne Healthcare,
Family
Health, and Greenville Kiwanis Club. DCCA also receives funding from
the Harry
D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia E.
Schaurer
Memorial Trust. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helps fund these
programs
with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational
excellence and
cultural enrichment for all Ohioans; this program is supported in part
by an
award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets
for Sleeping Beauty are $5,
and can be purchased at Readmore's Hallmark in downtown Greenville and
Worch
Memorial Public Library in Versailles, as well as at DCCA's office on
the third
