Welcome to the page for the Dexter Drama Directing Series, affectionately referred to as “3D.” Now in its ninth 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 eight 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.

Stage Managed by Bailey Scheller A group of characters including the irritable Pregnant Woman, the angry Biker, and the spacey New Age Woman get onto an elevator. The elevator breaks, and conflict ensues. Sound familiar? Well, for the playwriting instructor also trapped in the elevator, it seems a little TOO familiar. Amidst the chaos of stock character after stock character magically appearing in the elevator, can the Instructor find whoever is responsible for this horrible play and force them to stop the madness before the cliches get out of control? |

An all-knowing caterpillar offers advice, the March Hare and Mad Hatter are always sipping tea, and the Queen of Hearts constantly loses her head. The Cheshire Cat believes everyone in Wonderland should be mad, and therefore Alice needs to be as well. Has Alice gone insane or lost her head? Only the Cheshire Cat knows for sure. |

Sunflowers written, composed, and directed by Adam Hershner and Kesley Walter
Stage Managed by Christo Short High school, they say, is the time to find yourself. See what works, see what doesn’t. For Aurora, what works is Lily, her crush and possible date, if she comes to terms with her new identity. With support from her best friend Lex, but resistance from her single parent Jaime, Aurora comes into herself. Either you can bloom and face the sun, or lie to yourself and whither away. |

Sweet Potato Madness written and directed by Maggie Needham
Stage Managed by Abby Calleja An unconventional romance between a humanoid sweet potato and a woman named Karen, a tragic microwave fire, an alien boy named Gerald, a bizarre support group, and an alcoholic guidance counselor are truly a recipe for madness. Rightly named, Sweet Potato Madness is a show full of wacky comedy and ridiculous hijinks. It follows the overdramatized stories of three support group members, Karen, Kevin, and Melanie. So get ready for an adventure filled with remnants of last night’s dinner and random faces you saw the day before! |
