Laura Ingalls Wilder musical comes to Memorial Hall

Darke County Center for the Arts Family Theatre Series will present Laura Ingalls Wilder on Sunday, January 29 at 2 p.m. at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville. One of the most beloved of ArtsPower National Touring Theatre's productions, the show chronicles the exciting adventures of the Ingalls family as they travel across the prairie. “Each character in the show in their own way embodies the pioneering sense of adventure that helped make our country great,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “The plot is based on Laura's childhood experiences, but the unique story-line explores the relationships between family members while at the same time bringing life on the prairie alive on the stage,” Mr. Rawlins stated.
 
As those who are familiar with the books chronicling her life already know, Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family faced many challenges as they traveled across this nation's unsettled frontier of the late 1800's and labored to establish their home. According to Mr. Rawlins, this show features a lush musical score that captures the restlessness and excitement of those pioneer times. “ArtsPower National Touring Theatre is committed to enriching the lives of families through the performing arts; Laura Ingalls Wilder provides a fine example of that commitment,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.
 
DCCA's Family Theatre Series is sponsored by Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison State Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, The Andersons Inc., Wayne Healthcare, and Greenville Rotary Club. The series also receives support from DCCA memberships and the Jean Louise Thieme Fund of the Darke County Foundation. The Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial Fund, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia Schaurer Memorial also provide operating support for DCCA. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
 
Tickets for Laura Ingalls Wilder are $5, and can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or purchased on-line at www.centerforarts.net. Tickets are also available at the Greenville Public Library and Readmore's Hallmark in Greenville, as well as at Worch Memorial Public Library in Versailles.
