Disney's Beauty and the Beast is based on the 1991 animated classic--but brought to life through the hard work of St. Mary's actors, singers, dancers, production staff, community professionals, and family volunteers.  

The plot follows the life-changing journey of Belle, a French girl desperately seeking an adventurous escape from her dull small-town existence.  When she makes a desperate gamble to save her father's life, she finds exactly what she was hoping for--adventure, escape, and love--and much more than she bargained for.

The whole family is welcome to "be our guest” at this toe-topping, heart-warming production of one of Disney's most classic love stories!

OUR MISSION: St. Mary’s HS Theatre is a dynamic collaboration between student artists and technicians, parents, directors, designers, and community volunteers.  Our aim is to nurture the talent of our students through the creation of dramatic art that is entertaining, uplifting, and memorable.  Moreover, we are dedicated to expanding our students’ knowledge and professional skills, creating a positive and inclusive program, and fostering a thriving arts community rooted in the mission and tradition of Catholic education.

OUR PROGRAM: Each year, St. Mary’s High School Theatre produces two full-scale productions, typically one comedy or drama and one musical.  A two- to three-month rehearsal and production process immerses students in the world of live theatre, both onstage and behind the scenes.  This intensive experience culminates in afternoon and evening performances before both the St. Mary’s community and eager public audiences.  In all things, we strive for true artistic and personal excellence.

Past performances have included: The Wizard of Oz, Steel Magnolias, Jesus Christ Superstar, Legally Blonde, The Crucible, Peter Pan, Romeo and Juliet…and many more!

OUR PEOPLE: Students are actively involved in every aspect of production, including acting, stage management, costume and lighting design, set construction and painting, and house and hospitality.  Additionally, our program thrives on the creative participation of literally dozens of people: student actors and technicians, adult directors and designers (many professionally trained!), and parent volunteers.

OUR LEGACY: Live theatre is part of a 2500-year-old tradition that transcends the boundaries of language, ethnicity, time, and politics.  It unites people through the tools of story, scene, and song; it communicates lasting ideals of beauty and truth; it affirms the power of the human spirit; and it echoes each person’s God-given talent and drive to create.
