Upper School will ring in the holiday season with the play "A Gift To Remember" Adapted by Joseph Robinette. Based on the book Can This Be Christmas? by Debbie Macomber.

Show dates currently are scheduled for Friday, December 13th and Saturday, December 14th.

Our Upper School spring musical will be "Big Fish" - Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa and Book by John August. Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.
