DVA Productions, Inc.

WHAT WE DO!
DVA Productions, Inc. was founded in 2008 by DFW artist Sheran Goodspeed Keyton. Our mission is to help develop and increase the awareness of the performing and cultural arts in the Fort Worth community.

There are many factors of life with which members of the community must deal. Though they vary in degrees amongst different cultures, backgrounds and social classes; these factors and the need for open and creative dialog are common to each of the groups.

The programs address issues of interracial struggles and acceptance (extremely pertinent in 2011), inter-generational relationships, growth and progress in African American communities, strengthening communication between adults and youth, acceptance of people's differences, and many more.

They also celebrate the joys and triumphs of the members of the community; and tell those stories through song and dance.

DVA Productions is proud to be a part of:

DVA offers family-friendly programs that are available to tour local schools, churches and libraries. Mrs. Dipsworth’s Storytime is quite simply a unique presentation of stories and songs. Mrs. Dipsworth is a fairy godmother style character with a larger than life presence. She reads stories chosen by the teacher or librarian that align with the current theme or curriculum. Songs that compliment the story are added to enhance the overall experience for the students. The wonderful thing about this show is that the information covered is always applicable to what the students are learning; and the delivery is comparable to that which every grandmother would give. To book Mrs. Dipsworth for your school or church, call 817.313.3052.	DVA Productions, Inc. is proud to announce its 2011-2012 Inaugural Season!
