THE DRAMA CLOAK The awarding of “The Drama Cloak” is an old theater tradition. The cast and crew vote on the single person whom they feel exemplifies the spirit of the production. That person wears the cloak during the curtain call as a symbol of honor.

Fabric and/or small tokens from each production are attached to the cloak, and it grows in meaning and color over the years.

On our cloak, you will see bits and pieces from our DCT All-Youth Summer Musical productions.
