Dallas ISD Day

For four years running, Broadway Dallas has partnered with Dallas Independent School District to create the integrated experience known as DISD Day, in which more than 3,000 students and teachers work on a custom STEAM-focused curriculum aligned with one of our season’s hottest shows. In 2025, DISD Day is all about HADESTOWN!  

This year’s focus was costume design and construction. Using teacher-designed and student-focused lessons, with materials supplied by BD, students delved into Hades’ Underworld, designing and constructing scale model costumes for the HADESTOWN characters. This work will be displayed throughout the Music Hall during the run of the show, and you can also view a gallery of student work below.

Broadway Dallas’ unique, districtwide STEAM education program utilizes a Broadway musical to teach technology, career readiness, and cultural awareness. As a culminating activity, all participating students and teachers attend a dedicated performance at the Music Hall at Fair Park. Previous DISD Day curriculum has centered on shows such as Hamilton (2021), Ain’t Too Proud (2022), and Beetlejuice (2024).

Dallas ISD Day Hadestown is presented by The Addy Foundation and The Eugene McDermott Foundation with additional support from:  Fichtenbaum Charitable Trust, H-E-B/Central Market, Texas Counter Fitters, Harold Simmons Foundation, The Rosewood Corporation, Galleria Dallas, The Dallas Education Foundation, and individual donors who care deeply about arts education.
