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:
  • 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.
  • 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

You can pay all at once via Eleyo by selecting each individual installment and then checking out altogether. We are happy to accept checks made out to Dexter Community Schools, if you are so inclined to save us processing fees.

Only a select number of spots will be available for underclassmen. For all, the second payment is due Jan 1st, and the third is due Feb 1st.

If you make payment by credit card, it will auto charge the card for the 2nd and 3rd payment on the due dates.  This is at the decision of the business office, NOT the choice of DDC.  We are happy to accept checks made out to Dexter Community Schools.
