The program spans all divisions, allowing even the youngest performers to develop their confidence and talents. Through engaging workshops, immersive rehearsals, and exhilarating performances, students learn the intricacies of acting, directing, and stagecraft.

Theatre at CDS extends beyond the spotlight, nurturing crucial life skills. Collaboration and teamwork flourish as students work together to bring narratives to life.

As the curtains rise and fall, the theatre program at CDS not only showcases exceptional talent but also celebrates the uniqueness of every participant. It exemplifies the school's commitment to fostering creativity, self-assurance, and a deep sense of community among its students.
