Thieme
Children’s Theatre Fund supports DCCA Family Theatre Series
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes the Darke County Foundation
and The Jean Louise Thieme Children’s Theatre Fund for their support of
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series. “DCCA is pleased to receive
continual generous support from community organizations such as The
Jean Louise Thieme Children’s Theatre Fund of the Darke County
Foundation. With their assistance we are able to fulfill our
mission of cultural enrichment for the community,” stated Andrea
Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. Jean Louise Thiem started
DCCA’s Family Theatre Series, in 1997; this series provides young
children, their parents, grandparents & great grandparents the
opportunity to enjoy professional live theater in Memorial Hall.
Thanks to strong community support, DCCA has been able to keep a $5
ticket price for professional, high quality, artistic, Family Theatre
Series performances, for almost two decades. According to Jordan,
"the goal of DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is to inspire the
imaginations of the young and young at heart, encouraging the
expression of creativity. The series attracts a wide-ranging
audience that includes many preschool children enjoying their first
theater experience, as well as senior citizens who enjoy the shows’
strong depiction of traditional values.”

October 4, Madeline & the Bad Hat November 15 and Moon Mouse – A
Space Odyssey April 3, 2016. Performance times are scheduled to

afternoons. Most of the productions are original musicals based
on popular tales adapted from current and classic children’s
literature, although non-theatrical creativity-inspiring performances

Memorial Hall in Greenville. Tickets are $5 and may be
