It was Girls night out so we went to dinner and then to this fabulous HS production of The Bodyguard! Walking into the auditorium, we spotted a rainbow! The singing talent was amazing and at intermission we bought some freshly made popcorn! The only problem was an occasional glitch in the sound system, but it was minor!
Excellent performance by the students, felt like I was watching a play on Broadway.
My son goes to this school and they never fail to be an entertaining group of kids doing amazing things. The staff seems genuinely into making a great experience for each child. Worth visiting even if your kids dont go there.
My son isaac worked. With conselor mrJohnson. Who treated him like his son did. Wonderful!i i know he will now graduate from university michigan isaac is brilliant!
The Dillard Center for the Arts is a live performance venue on the campus of Dillard High School. Dillard High School is a performing arts magnet high school and they put their shows on in the Arts Center which offers music, dance, and theater performances to the general public.I came to the center to view a performance of Peter and the Wolf by the South Florida Symphony. Since I knew it was at a high school I was expecting a high school auditorium but I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the theater was. The small (roughly 400 seat) auditorium was clean and the chairs were comfortable. Since the venue is not large all of the seats offer a good view of the stage.Some of the upcoming shows available for purchase include the Marvelous Wonderettes Dinner Theater, a concert by the schools award winning Jazz ensemble, a dance performance by the schools students called Just Dance!, and the musical The Bodyguard. Tickets can be purchased on the Dillard Center for the Arts website and they offer a student discount.Dillard High School was established in 1907. Its a historic school and was the first public school for African Americans in Ft. Lauderdale. It was a enlightening to see how this performing arts school is thriving today. I enjoyed the concert I saw in the theater and I now I am interested in supporting the students and seeing some of their performances. Most tickets are an affordable $10.
Wonderful surprise of such complete facility available as a public school for musicians
Awesome performance of The Body Guard by the students! Even though I didnt partake, at intermission they served spaghetti, salad and bread. I thought that was awesome!!
The area is always clean from what it seems, the kids are seemingly dedicated to their schoolwork, homework, and extracurricular activities. However, it seems the teachers may not care about the students as they are behind in some teachings or dont feed the kids when they have them stay hours after school, not even warning them that they should eat. This school is a decent school, but beware the bullying here can be heavy as well.
Love how the tax payer money was spent.
Dillard is an incredible place for Performing Arts. From the programs to the facilities it is Ft. Lauderdales best kept secret. The performances are professional, you wont even think youre at high school. Everything is world class. From the vocalists, to the musicians to the dancers to the actors. Check them out on Goldstar for performance discounts.
The Recital hall at Dillard High school is really nice. The performance I went to see last nice was excellent. Great place to see performances!!
Students are not controlled, security flirts with students instead of escorting students to the bathroom or patrolling the halls, school is dirty, most of the bathrooms are locked, and counselors are no help. The cafeteria also serves dry food and sometimes its overcooked. The people who work in student affairs are selectively generous to those they speak with. People who work in the office ( assistant principal, counselors, etc. ) Walk around bad mouthing and swearing all the time.
This is my school. I love this school it is really amazing they have good dancers and the best band. They are achieving goals and setting goals with the students. They also have great teachers. My child has learned a lot and she is on the dance team. She also still has straight As. So take ypur child here dont listen to rumors.
This is my old high school. Ive gotten many things done here and learned plenty. They have a great magnet program with many exciting arts fields one may partake in and the staffs are just the best. It doesnt get better than this. Love it.
There is no diaper changer in the women restroom, this is a must on this type of places where the whole family come to see the show.
Wonderful performance of the Bodyguard by high school aged performers.
Great plays but they need to work on the audio, everytime someone turns away from the audience the audio cuts out.
These students are so talented and amazing!
Great school for young musical minds
It’s a great school, with amazing learning opportunities and a wide range of learning interests.
Great job with The Color Purple from the school of performing arts. Great program and great high school Dillard High!!
Excellent when it comes to Dillard it should be in the top five. In Highschools.
A great School a lot of friends there a lot of good people to me teachers are fun and amazing
I had a life changing experience. I love it.
The best performing arts program in the tri-county area.
Very talented students put an amazing show.
The kids sang Chamber Music! It was awesome!
I had the opportunity to watch some incredible performers on the stage of this arts-focused school. Singer and songwriter, Jason Derulo, is an alumnus of Dillard Center For the Arts. If you live in Fort Lauderdale and you have a talented young artist in the family, you may want to consider this school.
DUDE summer jazz music camp is awesome my nephew went for that and the live show is great and its all supported by the people so check them out and if you like try to help them out PLEASE
