Theatre Arts at DCA

--We are a department that has about 80 students involved on a day to day basis.
--Every year the drama department presents at least one full length play and a musical. Usually, we also incorporate a children's play, which we present to the elementary school.
--Last year, DCA drama students won 2nd place in the state festival and went on to perform at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Lexington, KY.
--This year we will again be entered in a one-act festival and will be traveling to the southeastern theatre conference with juniors and seniors planning to pursue theatre in their future.
--Our main focus is performing theatre with excellence and honoring God with our gifts in performance!
--Last year, DCA drama students were offered over $500,000 in possibly scholarship opportunities.

Agatha Christie's, The Mousetrap a BIG hit!

The DCA drama department presented The Mousetrap in the HS gym. October 15 and 17, the fall production was a hit with DCA students, alumni and parents! We had our biggest fall play audience to date and everyone really enjoyed the dessert and beverages. What a fun production~ we just wish we could perform more shows...one day...when we have a fine arts building! God is good to us everyday. His blessings are new every morning! Get ready for the spring musical in April!

One Act Moves on to SETC!


The drama one act, "Flowers for Algernon," by David Rogers, moves on to the drama version of national competition, the southeastern theatre conference. Students placed 2nd in the state competition. In individual awards, Will Miranne took best actor and Cody Beyer took runner up for the acting scholarship competition! Congratulations to these amazingly talented students! To God be the glory for the gifts He so richly bestows! In our weakness....no auditorium, no rehearsal space, no place to build sets or store them...He is strong!!!! Thanks be to the Lord!

On October 23rd, our most advanced drama class of juniors and seniors will present their one act, "Flowers for Algernon," by David Rogers, at the Tennessee State Theatre Festival. DCA is one of six schools that will be competing in the HS festival for the opportunity to perform at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in March. As part of getting ready for the festival, the students presented the one act to the 8th through 12th grade English classes on Wednesday. They were well received and the entire student body was very supportive!
