Drama

 

St. Francis is proud of its commitment to the fine arts.  The St. Francis Drama Project annually produces two to three plays and musicals that never fail to entertain.  The Drama Project mounts classic productions, such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Fiddler on the Roof, as well as plays for young people by noted contemporary playwrights.  Winter brings the holiday traveling show, a music, dance and comedy revue aimed at school-age audiences.  Students are involved in all aspects of production—acting, technical support and even writing and directing.

 

In order to maintain the integrity of a production and to affirm the concept of ensemble responsibility, the Drama Project expects students to make this commitment a priority.  Whenever possible, appointments and other commitments should be scheduled at times that will not conflict with practices and performances.
