Drama Club New York Trip!
 

Join the Dexter Drama Club for our Annual New York City Trip!

Dexter Drama is very excited and fortunate to coordinate a trip to New York City each year.  It is our belief that taking theater students to New York is a culturally enriching experience that matters! Field trips of this nature produces significant benefits for students on a variety of educational and character or personal development outcomes that our program and community cares about. Field trips are an effective way to teach academic content; increase student tolerance by providing exposure to a broader, more diverse world; and improve the ability of students to recognize what other people are thinking or feeling.  This is to say nothing of the incredible experience historic New York City offers.  As a student of theater, seeing the professional productions on a Broadway stage is invaluable.  
​
Activities from past trips have included:
  • A walking tour of Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Lincoln Center, Union Station and other points of interest
  • Shopping at Herold Square (Macy's and surrounding area) 
  • Staten Island Ferry ride (past the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline)
  • A visit to Little Italy and Chinatown
  • THE BROADWAY SHOWS!!! 
    • In past years we have managed to arrange talk-backs with Broadway casts as well as tours of Broadway theaters after the show.  This varies each year.
