Welcome to the Dexter High School Drama Club Website!
We are so glad you are visiting the Dexter Drama Club website! With over 100 students who participate annually, the DHS Drama program is one of the largest in the district. The club sponsors 5 productions a year: a fall play, a winter musical complete with student pit orchestra, spring musical at Copeland Auditorium, a student directing series, and a talent show! All shows are casted and crewed by students, an aspect we are very proud of here in Dexter. The spring musical is a special event we do in collaboration with the K-12 Art Festival as well as cast and crew being composed of students from both Dexter High School and Mill Creek Middle School. This site is a resource for you to gain any the information about the club and its participants you may need. Above, you will see several links. Click on the link that represents your interest. Improv? Archives? Or a Production! Each production has its own link where you can find ticket information, schedules, and more! Enjoy and please be sure to send us any feedback as we continue our dedication to quality theater

About
The Berkeley High Jacket is the student newspaper of Berkeley High School. The 16-page paper is published every other Friday throughout the school year and serves more than 3,200 Berkeley High students, as well as the broader Berkeley community. The paper’s five sections are News, Opinion, Features, Entertainment, and Sports. Beginning this fall the Jacket also publishes online video and multimedia content to its website.
The Jacket is entirely student-operated and is put together by more than 70 student editors, writers, photographers, illustrators and videographers. Staff members are enrolled in the Jacket class, which meets Mondays at 9 and every other Wednesday at lunchtime.
From the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, the paper was printed daily in the school’s own print shop. In the late 1990s reporters Megan Greenwell and Iliana Montauk broke a story involving a local Berkeley business owner who was importing young women from India for sex trafficking. Their story was widely syndicated and the exposure resulted in criminal prosecution. In 2000, the Jacket staff became the first-ever non-professional winner of the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists’ Journalist of the Year award.
