SENIOR CHAPBOOK READINGS – Creative Writing
TUESDAY, May 5 – 6:00 pm
FREE EVENT
Readings in the DSA Concert 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. If you are unable to attend in person, we will be livestreaming the event at this link: https://tinyurl.com/DSACW2526 |

An All School Musical Event! NIGHT ONE will include music made famous by Duke Ellington, the Eagles, Paramore, Casiopea (a Japanese jazz jusion band), Taylor Swift, John Denver, Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Laufey (an Icelandic singer), Jack Johnson, and the Plain White T’s. Our special events include an acoustic version of Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire” from THE LORD OF THE RINGS with a back up singer and a Visual Arts artist creating an original piece of art that reflects the musical journey at the same time. We will also offer a virtuoso acoustic guitar performance by Andy McKee. Night Two – ELECTRIC/ROCK NIGHT This is both a jazz/fusion and hard rock night for all you head-bangers out there. A totally different program with new and returning artists, this evening will pay homage to the music of Steve Vai, Michael Jackson, Mac Miller, Childish Gambino, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Sweats (from Denver!), the White Stripes, Nirvana, TOOL, the Deftones (an alternative metal band), King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (an Australian psychedelic rock band), Gojira, and Casiopea (again). The night will have a unique special effect especially created by the inventive minds of the Stagecraft and Design majors to celebrate the artistry of the talented Guitar majors from DSA. Bring your earplugs or buy some at the concession stand managed by the Stagecraft Department who will be there both nights to feed your sweet tooth and provide liquid refreshment.
