Theater Arts
Our Theater Program produces two shows each year in the Fall and in the Spring. Past shows have included Curtains, Radium Girls, The Addams Family, Damn Yankees and Godspell. All students, regardless of experience, are taught the basics of acting, character development and communication on stage. The Drama Club is also open to all students who are interested in any aspect of theater. This includes acting, stage crew, set design, costuming, make-up and more.

A few highlights include visiting local attractions, such as St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Rockefeller Center, and getting a behind-the-scenes tour of current Broadway productions. Participants also have the chance to attend workshops and rehearsals with actors and actresses from Broadway shows.

Thespian Society
The International Thespian Society (ITS), founded in 1929, is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theater students located at more than 4,200 affiliated secondary schools across America, Canada, and abroad. The mission of ITS is to honor student achievement in the theater arts. High school inductees are known as Thespians and junior high/middle school inductees are known as Junior Thespians. ITS is a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA).
The Thespian troupe is a subset of our theater arts program. It is the student honor society, a separate student organization, and membership is earned. Any student may be a member of the theater program, but only students who have been officially inducted and registered with the EdTA national office are members of the theater program and the International Thespian Society.Troupe 3418 Members 2019-2020- President: Kathleen McNerney
