Theatre & Film

Our Theatre & Film Department puts on three productions every year: the Fall Play, Spring Musical, and New Works Festival, a collection of student-written and directed 10-minute plays and short films. We also have a TheatreSports team, which is an improvisational-acting club; members take part in improv competitions. Participation for all productions is accomplished through an auditions and casting process. Opportunities to work behind the scenes in costume design, hair and makeup, marketing, lighting and sound design, and theatre tech, are also available.

Holy Names Academy is a yearly participant and recognized school in The 5th Avenue Awards: Honoring High School Musicals.
