ROCKLAND — Poet/musician Darian Dauchan will guide young audiences on a vocal odyssey through rhymes, beat-boxing, and acapella melodies in a performance on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m., at the Strand Theatre.  Tickets for this Family Series show are available at a sliding scale of $0 - $20. The show is suitable for children ages 4-12 and is also available to livestream. 

Dauchan’s interactive shows leads audiences to discover the power of their own voices – “one of civilization's most valued treasures,” said the Strand, in a news release.

The actor, writer, poet, and musician has appeared on both Broadway (“Twentieth Century” starring Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche) and Off Broadway theater (Classical Theatre of Harlem's “Cherry Orchard” starring Wendell Pierce), and has multiple TV and film credits including “Law and Order” and Nickelodeon's “Bet the House.” Dauchan is most known for “The Brobot Johnson Project,” an Afrofuturism, Sci Fi Hip Hop transmedia piece which won for Outstanding Comedy Series at the LA Web Festival and BEST soundtrack at the Escape Velocity Festival sponsored by the Museum of Science Fiction. His music "Doin' it Live" and "Ohm" can be found on all streaming platforms.
