Millions of fans… thousands of standing ovations… ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical…. This is Billy Elliot The Musical, the spectacular show with the heart, humor and passion to be named TIME Magazine‘s “Best Musical of the Decade!” Based on the international smash-hit film, and featuring a score by music legend Elton John, Billy Elliot is an astonishing theatrical experience that will stay with you forever.

Delano Dramatic Company (DDC) is a relatively new community theatre based in Delano. Over the last several years, some key people who have deep roots in the Delano Public Schools drama program and in the Delano community have come together to form a new nonprofit company to produce community theatre in Delano. This new company is supported by the Delano Area Council for Arts and Culture, and the Central Minnesota Arts Board.

What’s so special about community theatre?

1. Theatre is fundamentally inclusive. Nothing engages such a broad range of the community like theatre. The aged and the very young, the athletic and disabled, the talented and otherwise, every body shape every sexual orientation, every interest and every level of academic achievement. Everyone can play a part on or off stage or in the audience.
2. Few other community activities are self funding in the way theatre is. After the initial investment, the patrons pay for its running and development costs.
3. Theatre is inspirational, it can make you think, laugh, cry and giggle. It can be fun, challenging and educational. It can make people grow in ways that other media cannot.
