DCCA presents
free movie matinee
Darke County Center for the Arts will present a free family movie
matinee on Sunday, March 22 at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall featuring
the classic favorite about a magical automobile, Chitty Chitty Bang
Bang. “The whole family can celebrate Spring by going on a delightful
adventure with DCCA,” said Andrea Jordan, Executive Director of the
arts group. “No tickets are required; we invite the community to spend
time together enjoying free popcorn while delightedly watching Dick Van
Dyke and company embark on a fantastical musical journey,” Ms. Jordan
said. The show begins at 2 p.m.
The 1968 film is loosely based on Ian Fleming's novel, with a script by
beloved children's author Raold Dahl of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory fame, and Ken Hughes, who also directed the movie. Critic Roger
Ebert wrote that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is “about the best two-hour
children's movie you could hope for, with a marvelous magical auto and
lots of adventure and a nutty old grandpa and a mean Baron and some
funny dances and a couple of scary moments.”
Keller Grain and Feed is sponsoring this special event, and will be
providing the popcorn to appropriately accompany the show. Darke County
Center for the Arts presents high quality performing artists in a
variety of venues and encourages cultural enrichment in the community
it serves. For more information about the movie matinee, contact DCCA
