NYC National Unified College Auditions were a great success! This was the 7th year Mr. Kemper and BFA seeking seniors traveled to NYC for auditions! At Unifieds, representatives from theater programs at multiple colleges come to a centralized location where students can audition for several programs over several days. Break legs to our DA students at Chicago Unifieds this week!

Mary Fishburne Visit 
DA MT Rep 3 class welcomed Philadelphia-based composed and lyricist Mary Fishburne on Jan. 31st. 
Mary is the bookwriter/composer/lyricist to the new musical BOUNDLESS, the story of four Amish sisters navigating the tragic loss of a sibling while coming of age in a complicated world. 
In a two-part visit, Mary introduces us to this powerful new work to help us cast a staging of BOUNDLESS that will have it's Florida premiere in late April at DA in the Black Box!
We're so thankful Mary trusts us with this incredible show, and can't wait to get to work!
Thanks to Ms. Cornelius and the DA Foundation for making Mary's visits possible. 

Congratulations to our Poinsettia Winners!  Maya VazquezNick BenwickJonAshton Reid
