DCT is an independent not-for-profit theater company based in New York City. It recently produced the acclaimed August 2006 summer theater festival of one-act plays on gender identity at Theatre Row's Clurman Theatre, "FOUR PLAYS: The Equality Playwrights Festival."

DCT's GRS 2006 will open with Cassandra Medley's NOON DAY SUN, WINNER OF THE 2001 THEATREFEST AWARD, directed by David McRee.
