TOO MUCH LIGHT – Theatre
THURSDAY, APRIL 23 – 5:00 PM
THURSDAY, APRIL 23 – 7:00 PM
COST – A PUSH OF THE BUTTON
DSA Black Box Theatre
Startied in 1988 by a theatre troupe in Chicago as an exercise in improvisation, the Junior Theatre majors have continued this tradition every year. Their performance consists of 30 plays performed in 60 minutes – each of them written by an actor in the group or a group of them in the act. The numbers are posted on the wall making each performance a different experience as the audience calls out the numbers randomly, making the order of the short plays shuffled. Continuing the craziness, there are no tickets. You show up at the designated time and push a button at the door to determine how much your ticket will cost. Parents of DSA students: If you want to know what is important to your students, this is the show to see. The original plays are reflective of what they are going through at school, at this time in their life, and in their heads. You’ll laugh, you may shed a tear, but, most assuredly, you will be surprised and proud. |

STRING ORCHESTRA CONCERT
SATURDAY, APRIL 25- 7:00 pm
ADULT – $25.00
SENIOR – $20.00
STUDENTS – $10.00
DSA Concert Hall
| The program for this concert consists of the following: RITUAL FIRE DANCE by de Falla: Composed in 1915, de Falla was influenced by the traditional religious Spanish fire dance. In the ballet El Amore Bruno, a young gypsy is haunted by her dead husband. Her village performs the fire dance which draws the ghost into the fire, making it vanish forever. ST. PAUL SUITE by Holst: Composed in 1913, it was written and named as a gift for the St. Pauls Girl’s school in London where Holst served as music master for a number of years. DANSE BACCHANALE from SAMSON AND DELILA by Saint Saens: A popular opera based on the Biblical tale, the DANSE is found in Act 3 after Samson has been shorn of his hair and his strength by the devious Delila. The Philistines dance in victory in the temple before Samson finds his strength through prayer and brings the temple down on their heads. ADORATION by Price: Written in 1951 by Florence Price, a modern composer who struggled for recognition in a male dominated field. ADORATION, a lyrical prayer, was written two years before her death as a piece for organ and later arranged for strings. CONCERTO PA ARCHI by Rota: This Milanese film composer is most famous for his soundtracks for modern movies such as THE GODFATHER and ROMEO AND JULIET. A child prodigy who began composing at 8, Rota was later influenced by popular American music. The stately and restrained CONCERTO is one of his most performed pieces. |

SENIOR CHAPBOOK READINGS – Creative Writing
TUESDAY, May 5 – 7:00 pm
FREE EVENT
Readings in the DSA South Dining Hall
Each student in the 2026 Creative Writing Senior class has designed and produced their own book of writing and visual art/design. Each book includes a selection of the Senior’s own writing from their time as a writer at DSA. They all include beautifully designed spreads, and each book is incredibly unique and representative of each author’s distinct literary and aesthetic style. At the event, the authors will be selling and signing their books and will also each do a short reading of their work. There are several ways to purchase the books: we will accept cash and checks (payable to DSA) and credit cards at the event. You can also purchase books online in advance using your child’s MySchoolBucks account. Here is the link to purchase using MySchoolBucks. Each chapbook is $10. There are a total of 18 books for this year’s senior class. If you purchase 13 books at $10 each ($130 total), you will receive all 18 books. This way, you will get a discount of $50 for buying all the books. If using MySchoolBucks, just be sure to select 13 as your quantity if you want them all. Please note: All Chapbooks purchased through MySchoolBucks must be picked up at our Signing Event on May 5th. Here is a link to a document with a description of each chapbook so that you may select which chapbooks you would like. Lastly, as is tradition, we will have a dessert bar set up for after the readings, most likely the Commons at DSA North (need to just finalize that with our pivot). If you are interested in either donating a dessert and/or helping set-up/tear down the dessert bar, please sign up at this Google Form link. |
