Civic Theater
& Humane Society team up Feb. 28
February can be a pretty dull month, there isn’t usually a whole lot
going on, but fortunately for you, Darke County Civic Theater and Darke
County Humane Society have teamed up to bring a hint of summer fun to
February! They will be hosting “Wild West Family Fun Day” on Saturday,
February 28th, at Paws Bingo Hall in Greenville. This will be a fun
event for the whole family! Be sure to come out in your best western
attire and enjoy family friendly games, a western themed costume
contest, and of course, an old time melodrama!
That’s right, The Darke County Civic Theater is proud to present
“Dogsbreath Devereaux: The Dastardly Doctor!” How often do you get to
see an old time melodrama in the winter?! All the proceeds of the event
will benefit both Darke County Civic Theater and Darke County Humane
Society. Tickets are on sale at Roots Hair Salon on Broadway and Paws
Bingo Hall. Of course, you can always purchase tickets at the door as
well! Adults are $5 and K-12 students and senior citizens are $3.
Children’s games will start at 4pm and game tickets are available at
the event, plus sandwiches, snacks and drinks will be available for
purchase as well. Remember, your admission includes a fun filled
melodrama, that will begin at 6:00 PM. It will be your job to boo
the villain and cheer for the hero as Dogsbreath Devereaux, plots to
wed and do away with the wealthy widow Lotta Cash so he can inherit her
fortune and her late husband’s medical clinic. He enlists the aid of
the nasty nurse, Hilda Hatchet, and promises to marry her once he
disposes of Lotta. Problems arise when the insanely jealous Hilda
catches Dogsbreath flirting with Wendy March, the heroine of our show.
It seems only our hero, Dr. Phil Good, can save Wendy and the
unsuspecting Lotta Cash from certain death. Set in a clinic filled with
zany patients, this melodrama is sure to leave your whole family
stitches.
Mark your calendar and enjoy a bit of summer fun while benefiting local
organizations! If you have any questions, please contact Civic
Theater President, Dane Leeper at 937-337-2265.
