Comic Jugglers open DCCA season

Darke County Center for the Arts initial presentation of the Artists Series season provides something different from the organization's usual slate of musical performers. Guiness World Record holders “The Passing Zone” will perform a zany blend of comedy and gravity-defying juggling on Saturday, September 14 at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville. The duo of John Wee and Owen Morse have appeared on The Tonight Show, The Today Show, and were the top comedy act on America's Got Talent. The show starts at 8 p.m.

“The Passing Zone has something for everyone,” said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “They are classy and edgy at the same time, engaging in a steady stream of comic banter while performing remarkably complex juggling tricks. This is a show the entire family will enjoy,” she concluded.

According to Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director, “The Passing Zone” tosses traditional juggling clubs back and forth, but their act also includes innovative tricks that induce thrills as well as giggles. “These guys juggle almost anything, including chainsaws, knives, and members of the audience; and they are really, really funny all at the same time,” stated Rawlins.

Greenville Technology, Incorporated is sponsoring “The Passing Zone” performance. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.

DCCA's Artists Series also includes performances by popular concert pianist Alpin Hong, legendary singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester, and the Toledo Symphony Orchestra playing the music of Mozart. Season tickets are available at a discount from individual ticket prices. Tickets for “The Passing Zone” are $20. Tickets can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or at online at www.centerforarts.net.
