Poughkeepsie Day School's professional theatre company in residence, Half Moon Theatre, presents the highly-acclaimed play, The Yellow Boat, by David Saar, in the school's James Earl Jones Theater, February 14-17 and February 21- 24.
A "theatrical work of stunning beauty, soaring spirit and imagination," the play has been honored by the American Alliance for Theatre and Education with its Distinguished Play Award, as a New Visions/New Voices Selection by the Kennedy Center and as recipient of the Outstanding Play Award from the Theatre for Young Audiences/USA. Based on a true story written by the father of an eight-year old boy who contracts HIV/AIDS, parent/ viewer discretion is advised.

It seeks to promote curious and independent learners: critical thinkers who know how to ask questions and solve problems. Respect, responsibility and collaboration are among the hallmarks of the PDS school community. Typically, each year one-hundred per cent of the school's seniors who apply to college are admitted. Directions to the school can be found on the school's Web site (www.poughkeepsieday.org). For more information, contact the communications office (845-462-7600, extension 110).
