In 2008 DTE underwent a series of planning meetings and workshops with teaching artists and teachers at the South Brooklyn Community High School in Red Hook.   Over the next five years DTE will organize and implement arts education programming to improve the educational experience of every student at SBCHS.

DTE's after-school drama program, TheatreWorks, is organized through the school's Learning to Work initiative.  In the Spring of 2009, students presented the culmination of their trimester of devised theatre work, Love Triangles, to a standing-room-only crowd at the DTE studio.
