Scotland PT 2

What an incredible time DP has had in Scotland. From four sold out performances of Stranger Sings, to climbing a mountain, these students have had the trip of a lifetime. We spent time in London at the Globe, traveled north to visit Stirling Castle and The Kelpies, saw the 75th annual Royal Military Tattoo, and saw some incredible Fringe shows. We were even reviewed by MusicalTalk and appeared on their podcast reviewing this year’s fringe shows! Here’s to 2025 Ed Fringe and all the memories we made.

Another successful day of fringing for the Stranger Sings cast!

Stranger Sings at Fringe! Congrats to the students on a SOLD OUT opening night in Edinburgh. We are so proud of all their hard work and are looking forward to three more incredible performances here in Edinburgh.

Life has gone upside down! Join us in Hawkins this weekend as we present our 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival selection before we travel overseas. Tickets available at www.dphstheatre.com

Applause Awards 2025: We had an amazing time celebrating our production of Beautiful this year! Congrats to Bianca, Charles, and Aiden on their performances, as well as our students in Four Counts, Isabella in the pit, and alumni Cheyenne and Brooke from the DPPAC and Michael as host! 4276! Hoo-ah!

Congratulations to Ensemble ‘25 on their final performance last night at the senior VPA recital. We will miss your smiling faces and talents here at DP. Break a leg in all your future endeavors!

We’re looking forward to another incredible season next year, including our 7th visit to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform in the International Fringe Festival again. Don’t miss any of these incredible shows next year!
