DCCA Family Theatre Series presents Jack and the Beanstalk

Darke County Center for the Arts is announcing the second of its virtual Family Theatre Series presentations, Jack and the Beanstalk, which will become available for streaming on March 1.

“This lively musical will bring delight and inspiration to children and adults alike,” said DCCA Artistic Director David Warner. “The classic fairy tale springs to life with inventive and imaginative flair that will enthrall youngsters and captivate adults. According to Warner, the production from Virginia Rep on Tour features lively songs and creative scripting to tell the familiar tale in an original and humorously appealing manner.

“DCCA is committed to enriching lives through the arts, even when audiences cannot gather together to partake of live performances,” explained DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “Therefore, we are making available to our patrons these productions at no charge, while also helping a venerable arts provider, Virginia Rep on Tour, which is due to the pandemic also unable to fulfill its mission to entertain, challenge and uplift through the power of live theatre.”

DCCA’s initial Family Theatre offering from Virginia Rep, Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, is also still available for streaming at no charge; both productions will remain available through June 30.

To access these Family Theatre Series productions, go to DCCA’s website at DarkeCountyArts.org or email DCCA info@darkecountyarts.org for links and access codes. For more information, call DCCA at 937-547-0908.
