The NDCL drama program instills respect, support, and reliance of self and others. The program allows students to bring dramatic or musical material to life, seek interpretations, improvise, solve problems, and think "outside of the box".      

The NDCL Performing Arts Department presents three productions each year:

The Fall Play, either a drama or comedy, begins the school year.

Fall 2026,The Theatre department invites you to attend our production of Alice in Wonderland based on the novel by Lewis Carroll. Alice has fallen down a rabbit hole and found herself in a strange world where nothing is quite as it seems. Here she encounters a host of unforgettable characters, from the frantic White Rabbit and grinning Cheshire Cat to the eccentric Mad Hatter and the bombastic Queen of Hearts. As Alice races from one absurd adventure to the next, she must find her way home or remain forever lost in Wonderland.
