Now in its fourteenth year, Dexter Drama Directing Series’ (affectionately referred to as “3D”) purpose is to showcase the power of student-driven work. All of the one-acts within this series are student-directed by upperclassmen and, as always for Dexter Drama, the productions are student-acted and student-crewed. We are very proud of this unique production that celebrates both student leadership and student writing; since its debut twelve years ago, the "3D" Series has always had at least one student playwright. We feel lucky to have students within Dexter who have the talent, drive, and ambition to meet this challenge and affirm the DDC's mission to encourage students to explore & experience all areas of theatre.

Tracks
Written by: Peter Tarsi
Directed by Laynie Durbin and Ethan Dixon
Tracks
Tracks is a show about 10 strangers who find themselves in a subway station, all from different cities and with no way of finding out what day or time it is. They eventually come to the conclusion that they have died and each of the two platforms symbolize heaven and hell without knowing which side is which. They all reflect on their lives while waiting for the train to come and decide whether to board or not. When the train does finally come, they must decide to either stay to further think about their past actions or board the train and see where it will take them.

Expectations
Written and Composed by Sabina Carty and Molly Wing
Directed by Sabina Carty
It’s three days before opening night and there’s a half-finished set, a complete lack of props and costumes, the light and sound board operators are off videotaping a wedding, and the playwright is about to have a heart attack. Throw in an actress with an extremely jealous boyfriend, a dictatorial stage manager, a very organic method actor, and a techie running power tools during rehearsals and you have a splendid disaster of a comedy. Join the cast and crew as they hilariously struggle through this debacle of a tech rehearsal.

Expectations
"Expectations" is the story of two young adults on the brink of major life changes. Sam and Leanne have just graduated from high school and are unsure if their relationship can weather their wildly different plans for the future. It's all the more complicated by a secret one of them is keeping from the other. Written and composed by Sabina Carty and Molly Wing, "Expectations" is a bit of an ode to the sweetness of growing up in a small town like Dexter, and how hard we find it is to say goodbye to the ones we love.

Leanne: Angela Garza
Sam: Francis Fifelski
Ivy: Lucrezia Zumbo
Suzanne: Allison Fisher
