Lights, Camera, Maryvale!
Maryvale’s theater productions include dancing, singing, technical skills, and teamwork. Shows are chosen to involve as many students as possible, with an average cast and crew of 60–70. Faculty, staff, and parents help with sets, costumes, props, and publicity. Students often take on leadership roles in choreography, directing, crew, and production.
When roles require teen or adult male characters, auditions are open to students from local boys' or co-ed schools. We also often include sons or brothers of alumnae and current students.
Alongside three major productions each year, we host smaller events like one-acts from Drama and Technical Theatre classes, student-directed shows, and occasional liturgical dramas or skits.
Performances take place in the Erinn McCarthy Humanities Hall, a modern facility with a 500-seat theater, dressing rooms, scene shop, music rehearsal spaces, practice rooms, multimedia lab, and technical booth. It supports our growing Performing Arts Department and houses our large collection of instruments, equipment, props, and costumes.
Maryvale's Performance Choir made their Carnegie Hall debut!
They performed the world premiere of ‘You Are’ by J.D. Frizzell with 120 other high school students from all over the country.
