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.

Barbara's Barbershop
Written and Directed by Alec Althoen
Stage Managed by Jill Dorsey
Barbara’s Barbershop
Barbara’s Barbershop is a play that takes place in one setting: a Barber Shop. The play uses the fact that it is performed on a stage to its advantage, creating the show’s “Gimmick.” It uses the foreground to tell the story, and uses spotlights to highlight the person speaking. This play stars Barbara and her two sisters, Braidy and Curly and their dog; itches. Barbara, Braidy, and Curly have lines, but they’re not the ones actually telling the story. The story, or stories, are being told by the people getting haircuts. There are a total of 7 people that get their hair cut and each of them have a story to tell. And the stories are all connected, but how?

Conflict
Conflict
Written by Wade Bradford
Directed by Juno Bursch
Stage Managed by Adam DeGregorio
Entertainment is all about drama—the introduction of a problem and whether or not our protagonist can solve it. This is the case, ranging from classics such as Medea to more contemporary pieces like Amélie. Conflict, written by Wade Bradford, cleverly tackles the human desire to watch others suffer and succeed—whilst a healthy hatred for cantelopes underscores the play at the same time.

The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon follows two, semi qualified narrators as they attempt to lead their hodge podge group of actors through all 209 of the Grimm Brothers fairy tales in a fast paced, wild ride.
