Our Drama Department has been busy, and Theater Season is back with a bang! We are finishing off our second semester with two productions for all ages!

First, on May 27th, our Elementary School and Middle School students will take you through a magical adventure with The Wizard of Oz! With two casts consisting of over 20 students, the entire CDS community will enjoy traveling with Dorothy as she finds her way back home. Did we mention the CDS Symphonic Band and the 6th Grade Choir are performing too?

Show times are at 2 pm and at 6 pm, with tickets at c5,0000 in cash at the CDS Theater Door (with a c15,000 price cap for families).  Reserve your spots HERE! 

Second, get ready for an uproarious evening filled with belly laughs, as the highly anticipated high school play, The Play That Goes Wrong is set to hit the stage on the 2nd and 3rd of June. Featuring students from all high school levels, this play promises to be a hilarious and memorable performance that will have you laughing until your sides hurt. The title of the play itself gives you an idea of what to expect, as the plot revolves around a group of students who are putting on a play, but everything seems to be going awry. From forgotten lines to misplaced props, the audience will be taken on a comical journey as they watch the actors try to keep the show together amidst the chaos.

Show times are at 6 pm (on Friday, June 2nd) and 7 pm (on Saturday, June 3rd) with tickets at c5,0000 in cash at the CDS Theater Door (with a c15,000 price cap for families). Reserve your spots HERE!
