Theatre has been part of Aquinas’s tradition of excellence since the school was founded. 多年来, 阿奎那阶段培养了创造力, 技能, 和一代又一代学生的信心. Our cast and crew members perform for audiences that include parents, 爷爷奶奶, even great-爷爷奶奶 who have performed on the same stage. 我们现任剧院导演, 梅根·巴伯, is herself a third-generation alumna and former Aquinas actor.
Our annual theatre season offers performance opportunities for all our students, 无论是初中还是高中. The mainstage season includes three productions, all student run with adult supervision. 学生 are immersed in a wide range of genres, from contemporary shows (past shows include 发胶,恐怖小店, 她杀死怪物)到美国经典(《星际娱乐平台》《坩埚, 我们的小镇),到莎士比亚(罗密欧与朱丽叶,仲夏夜之梦, 《暴风雨》).
