DALLASTOWN PERFORMING ARTS CLUB ANNOUNCES FALL PLAY: MERRY MEN

By DPAC November 1, 2023

 DPAC is back on stage in the Dallastown High School auditorium to bring you a family-friendly comedy for all ages. When Maid Marian learns that she has to marry the objectionably evil and incompetent Sheriff of Nottingham, she and her ladies-in-waiting hatch a scheme to hold him at bay: Invent a band of outlaws running amok to keep the Sheriff busy. But what starts as a game of pretend soon blows up into the Sheriff hatching increasingly crazy schemes to catch the bandits, and Marian leading a double life as their leader: Robin Hood. That's right—it's the Robin Hood story as you've never seen it before, with mistaken identities, bumbling henchmen, and wild & wacky sword fights!

Performances are November 17th at 7:00 PM, November 18th at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and November 19th at 2:00 PM. Tickets are available online at www.dahsdpac.booktix.com and at the door.

Program Objective:  DPAC’s objective is to produce a wide variety of quality theatrical productions that provide students with a positive extracurricular experience and offer the community a source of worthwhile entertainment.

How this supports curriculum or how this impacts students: DPAC’s mission is to give Dallastown students a variety of hands-on theatrical opportunities, including performance and production work experience, as well as exposure to non-traditional modes of expression.  DPAC’s members experience growth as individuals in terms of reading and speaking skills, as well as enhanced confidence and group-work skills.  DPAC also benefits the community by providing high-quality entertainment and a vehicle for positive community-student interaction.
