A Thriving Musical Theatre Program

At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, performing arts is more than just an after-school activity—it’s a core part of our school experience. Each year, our students bring well-loved stories to life, stepping into the roles of heroes, villains, and everything in between.

And the result? Incredible performances in front of sold-out crowds.

Recent productions include:

• Peter Pan Jr. (2022)
• Frozen Jr. (2023) – Watch the performance here! (Of course, nothing beats seeing it live!)
• Beauty and the Beast Jr. (2024) – Watch the performance here! (But trust us, it’s even better in person!)
• Shrek The Musical (2025) – Our first full-length Broadway musical! Get your tickets here! (Don’t miss your chance to see it live—this swamp is only open for one weekend!)

A Professional-Quality Theatre Experience

At OLL, students don’t just put on a school play—they take part in a full-scale production right here on campus in our dedicated Performing Arts Center—and that’s a big deal.

Very few K-8 schools have their own theatre, let alone one that seats over 400 people!

• Professional lighting and sound – Through our partnership with Beamworks, a professional lighting and sound company, our productions feature Broadway-style microphones and professional-quality audio and lighting to enhance every performance.
• High-quality, multi-level sets and costumes – Students perform on custom-designed, multi-level sets with detailed costumes that bring each production to life.
• Expert direction – With guidance from four theatre directors—yes, you read that right… FOUR!—students receive top-tier instruction in acting, stage presence, vocal performance, and storytelling.
• Backstage opportunities – Students who prefer to work behind the scenes can join our full backstage crew, gaining experience in lighting, sound, set design, and production management.

No matter their role, every student involved in our theatre program contributes to something memorable and meaningful.

Performing Arts in the Classroom – Skills for Life

At Our Lady of Lourdes, performing arts is built into our curriculum because we believe these skills prepare students for life.

All students in grades 3 and 4 take performing arts as part of their school day, learning public speaking, collaboration, and presentation skills. In grades 5-8, students have the opportunity to continue their theatre education, strengthening their stage presence and confidence in communication—skills that set them apart in the classroom and beyond.

Whether performing on stage, leading a group project, or speaking in front of a room, our students learn how to present themselves with confidence—an ability that will serve them well for years to come.
