​Welcome to the page for the Dexter Drama Directing Series, affectionately referred to as “3D.”  Now in its seventh year, this production's purpose is to showcase the power of student-driven work.  All one-acts within this series are student-directed by upperclassmen and, as always for Dexter Drama, student-acted and student-crewed.
We feel wonderfully blessed to have students within Dexter with the talent, drive, and ambition to meet this challenge.   An interesting fact about the history of this series is since its original debut seven years ago, the "3D" Series has always had at least one student playwright as well.  We are very proud that this unique production serves as a celebration of both student leadership and student writing as well affirms that Dexter has a Drama program that encourages a student to explore and experience all aspects of the theater.

Gerhard written and directed by Riley Kremkus

Gerhard is about an amazing man and his journey through life. It takes place over 60 years and is a very heartfelt story. It jumps around from different settings in Germany to places in both Wisconsin and Michigan. Gerhard is the main character and also my grandfather. He is thrown into a lot of tough situations in his life such as enduring Hitler youth in Germany in the 1940s. There is a mix of romance, happiness, both comedic and dramatic moments to this story, and a stage kiss or two. I am very excited to bring my grandfather's story to the stage.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog written and music and lyrics by Joss Whedon directed by Michael Kivel and Claire Richardson

​Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was originally a three part web series written and directed by Joss Whedon. It is the gripping story of Dr. Horrible, wannabe super villain. On one hand, he wants more than anything to get into the Evil League of Evil, the most infamous association of villains in the world, ruled under the iron hoof of Bad Horse. On the other, he has fallen for the lovely Penny, a fellow laundry goer who has devoted her life to serving the homeless, and is opposed to villainy in all its forms. Unfortunately for Dr. Horrible, she has fallen for his nemesis, Captain Hammer (who happens to be the womanizing scumbag of the superhero world). Part comedy and part tragedy, Dr. Horrible has something for everyone, and while it is a musical, it is not actually a sing-along.
