DCCA presents Poetry Alive! at Arts Depot

Darke County Center for the Arts will open their new Coffeehouse Series season on Thursday, October 16 at the Arts Depot in Union City with a performance by Poetry Alive!, a group that began in 1984 with a show before an audience of around 100 in a music hall in Black Mountain, North Carolina, and has since performed to an audience of over 10 million throughout the world. “Poetry Alive! utilizes a team of skilled actors to create little plays out of each poem they perform; this is not poetry recitation, but an exciting performance that will make you laugh, make you cry, maybe even inspire and fulfill you,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Poetry Alive! truly brings poetry alive,” he concluded.

DCCA's Coffeehouse Series offers shows in casual social settings where food and drink are available for purchase, providing an opportunity to enjoy high quality professional performing artists in a relaxed atmosphere at an economical cost. Additional Coffeehouse shows include folksinger/songwriter John Flynn at the Coffee Pot in Greenville on Thursday, November 6, and bluesman “Walkin' Cane” Charanghat at Greenville's Bistro Off Broadway on Thursday, January 8, as well as Americana duo “Tall Heights” bringing their guitar, cello and voices to Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville on Thursday, February 5, and the soaring harmonies and foot-tapping rhythms of acoustic musicians Bettman and Halpin at Arcanum Historical Society's Wayne Trail House on Thursday, April 16. All Coffeehouse shows begin at 7 p.m.

The Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen and Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. 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 and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.

Poetry Alive! will also be performing for high school students in all Darke County schools from October 13 – 16 as part of DCCA's Arts In Education program, These performances are free and open to the public. For more information regarding specific times and locations, contact DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net. DCCA PRESENTS POETRY ALIVE! AT UNION CITY ARTS DEPOT
