Darke County Center for the Arts will present Schoolhouse Rock Live! at
Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Sunday, March 1 at 2
p.m. “This fast-moving, energetic show will rock our stage, delighting
kids and engaging adults with it's pure fun and excitement,” said DCCA
Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. Based on the popular cartoon series
that first hit TV screens in 1973, the show features fondly remembered
songs such as “Conjunction Junction” and “Just a Bill” that creatively
teach academic subjects to youngsters who believe that they are just
having a good time listening to music.
Schoolhouse Rock Live! is a production of Childsplay, a Tempe, Arizona
theatre company of professional adult artists who perform for young
audiences and their families. This show offers a new perspective on the
classic TV series, reflecting today's digital age and utilizing
multimedia elements as well as traditional choreography and set design
to tell its story. “The show will bring back great memories for adults,
while connecting directly with today's youngsters and their lives,”
Rawlins stated.
DCCA's Family Theatre Series was established to provide local families
the opportunity to enjoy professional theatrical productions within
their home community at an economical cost. Tickets are $5; these low
ticket prices are made possible by the contributions provided by the
