The Grade 4 class play was an enchanting tale for our beautiful new space, filled with time portals, mischievous villains, magic snowflakes, spells, and cookies! When villains from past plays travel to the first day of fourth grade and discover DCD’s new theater, the jealous crew hatches a plan to take over the school and demolish it. This lively and hilarious story explores the contrast of greed, selfishness, and fame against the power of kindness, teamwork, and friendship, as students work together, think creatively, and use clever trickery to outsmart the villains, and save their stage.
Following the performance, Head of School Allison Webster shared, “I can’t think of a better class or a better play to inaugurate our Hunter Center!”
She then presented a special video from the previous night’s naming ceremony—Celebrating The Hunter Center: A Tribute to Susie Hunter and Together Campaign Donors—and reflected on its message about the power of unity.
“Your play showed us that when you come together, play your individual parts, and collaborate, you make something amazing happen, and that’s what we do as a school and as a community,” Ms. Webster told the students. “Thank you for giving us such an amazing first play!”
She went on to express her appreciation for the faculty leadership behind the production. “I also want to extend a huge thank you to Ms. Sidoli for adapting so seamlessly through every transition—from the old Lowell Center to the primary gym, and now to this beautiful new space. I am so grateful for your partnership, and talent for all that lies ahead!”
Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to all of our fabulous Grade 4 performers! We extend our gratitude to our school families, as well as Ms. Lisciandra and Mr. Miller for their delightful cameo performances and support.
Our deepest appreciation goes to the dedicated team behind the scenes: Mr. Miller for designing the beautiful scenery, Ms. Rigoli for her wonderful work on costumes, Ms. Snow and Ms. Lien for the magnificent music, Ms. Karen for the delicious cookies, and Ms. Sidoli for directing another incredible class play. The Grade 4 students proudly dedicated this year’s play to Mr. Holden!
