With classes every day of the week at our home base in Columbia and throughout Howard County schools, DLC is a great place for educators, artists, and students to work!

Naomi began at DLC as a Music Intern in 2015 and is so grateful to be back supporting a community and organization that helped shape her love for the arts, now as a member of the administrative team.

Scheduling Coordinator
Eli Vogel
Since middle school, Eli Vogel has come to DLC to teach kids, light stages, clean up fake blood, and do a whole bunch of other things. COVID is his fault because he said “Macbeth” at DLC on 12/31/19.
