STUDENT LIFE

Theatre

High school is full of drama - just ask the St. Teresa's Academy Theatre Department. Here, students flourish. STA students have ample opportunities to get involved with our theatre program. We present three shows each year; a musical and a play both directed by theatre teacher Shana Prentiss, and a student production written and directed by seniors of St. Teresa's Academy.

All aspects of our productions, from stage management and lighting design to costume and makeup crew are student lead and organized. Students of STA's theatre program have a great sense of ownership over the productions. Girls choosing to participate in productions at STA not only have fun, they learn valuable leadership skills that last a lifetime.
