Parents and guardians:

This is the 19th annual NYC Theater Trip that the Dexter High School Drama Club has taken. I personally have been to NYC over 25 times. I am comfortable with getting around the city and showing the students the sites of New York. I will have a detailed itinerary, as we get closer to the actual trip. There will also be a meeting in which I will familiarize the students with the “ins and outs” of the trip, which will occur in late February. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks for reading!
