Each year NDP students are joined by boys from area schools, such as Loyola, Calvert Hall, and Carver when the Upper Level produces two full-length theatrical productions, a full-scale musical in the fall and a school play in spring. Annually, Middle Level students put on a musical in the winter in which students assume all performance and stage-crew roles. In summer 2018 NDP theater received a major lighting renovation and a total redecoration of our performance space through grants from the Marion Burke Knott Foundation and the NDP Friends of the Arts resulting in state of the art opportunities for our students.
