Upper School theatre classes are taught in a four tier Upper School curriculum that allows students to take progressive theatre courses annually. As a God-given gift, drama invites us to explore and enjoy life. Student skill base is built upon in text analysis, script writing, characterization and mask work. Each fall, the "DC Players" present two student directed one act plays, frequently debuting original student written work. Each spring the Upper School musical production involves almost 25% of the Upper School student body.

Productions have included among many others Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music and Thoroughly Modern Millie. Yearly evaluation by the CAPPIE organization has seen many annual nominations and amazingly at least one award winner per year. There are many supplementary performances throughout the year including those in chapel. Theatre at DC provokes thought, moving to introspection as we evaluate ourselves and the world in which we live.
