Theater

a group of students sit at various tables on stage to portray a restaurant scene from years ago.

Through the St. Sebastian’s Drama Program, students develop performance and acting skills, learn to collaborate as part of a cast, and form strong bonds across grade levels.

The Drama Club has a proud tradition of staging engaging plays and musicals. Each year, the club produces two major shows and welcomes participation from girls at neighboring schools. Productions range from classic and contemporary dramas to musicals, all performed with gusto. The year concludes with the Spring Revue, a celebration showcasing student work from both the Drama and Music programs. Beyond the spotlight, boys gain hands-on experience managing lighting, sound, sets, and directing fellow stage crew.

Whether drawn to acting, writing, direction, or working behind the scenes, or learning more about theater, there's a role for every Arrow in the Drama Program.

Theater gives many students a chance to step outside their comfort zones and try something new. Rehearsals are designed to fit around academic and athletic commitments, making it easy for boys to participate while staying active in other areas of school life.

Leading through Writing & Direction

Seasoned members of the Drama Club take leadership roles by writing and directing original one-act plays.

These student-created works span from lighthearted comedies to powerful, thought-provoking dramas, each reflecting a unique voice. The Spring Revue also provides a platform for students to develop and stage their own short plays and skits.
