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.
