Singin' in the Rain

This past spring, the drama and choir departments again teamed up and brought the classic, "Singin' in the Rain" to the DCA stage. Complete with specialized rain effects, the show was a hit! Thanks to our favorite behind the scenes man and our amazing parent team, the show was brought to life in a big way. Students Jacob Layne and Allison Owen made us truly believe Don and Kathy could fall in love while the zany Cosmo Brown (Will Miranne) devised humorous undertones throughout. Other memorable characters like the "we love to hate her" character, Lena Lamonte (Emily Hughes), her sidekick Zelda (Mallory Reaves) and the loveable RF Simpson (Dustin Gregory) made us feel like we were really on the hollywood lot! What a fun show! Hope you got to see it!

First year to travel to SETC

This year was our first year to travel to the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Lexington, KY. Our students performed their one-act and learned a lot about working in a real theatre! They took the stage like pros and spiked and struck with the best of them. All this, without having any experience with a real stage! 7 Students auditioned/interviewed for scholarships and were offered a total of over $500,000 in scholarship potentials. We are so proud of these students!

Alice in Wonderland by Michele L. Vacca is a hit success!

The advanced drama students at DCA presented Alice in Wonderland today in the lecture hall. They presented to the elementary students in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. Both the student actors and the audience had a great time. They learned about how books become plays and those bring characters to life on stage!!! Tonight, the students performed to a sold out crowd of parents, friends and students who enjoyed laughing and being "small" again. The entire production was student designed and implemented. What a fun day for all!

Drama Students reenact Iwo Jima flag planting

On Veteran's day, five of the drama students dressed in fatigues and acted out the Iwo Jima memorial for the school assembly. They came out into the gym while the choir sang. They proceeded to freeze and stand frozen for 10 minutes. The drama department was excited to be included on this very special day.

Ms. Lindsey named teacher of the week by News 2

Our own drama teacher, Ms. Laura Lindsey, was named News 2 educator of the week. Sylvia Castaneda came by during the dress rehearsal day for the fall play, "The Mousetrap" and video taped some of rehearsal. It will air sometime between Thanksgiving and the beginning of January!

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!
