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.

DCA Flood hits drama department


On May 2nd, the historic flood that hit Nashville also hit DCA. We were ravaged by waters that entered the school 4 1/2 feet. Our entire drama department was housed in a portable that was on 6 feet piers...so no one thought the water would get to it. Just a few days later as Ms. Lindsey walked among the debris and mud, she cried. So much of the department was lost. The drama department was able to save pictures and a handful of supplies and books that were high enough up in the rooms. The loss was great, but even then, Ms. Lindsey said..."Thank you God for these pictures and memories. The students make this department and not stuff..." We are grateful to begin again.
