Theater

St. Luke’s Theater educates and trains artists to be collaborative, to be innovative, and to be leaders. Our program is practical, artistic, and interdisciplinary. Students study dramatic literature in theory and historical context, and explore in a hands-on manner. Students may experience classic, contemporary, and new work in dramatic and musical theater arenas.

Two American women, a Park Avenue psychiatrist and an ambitious young writer, travel to Bosnia to help women refugees confront their memories of war. Though the two have little in common beyond the methods they use to distance themselves from their subjects, they emerge deeply changed as they confront their own fears in the face of violence, resiliency, and war. Based on interviews conducted by Eve Ensler with numerous women who survived the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, Necessary Targets is a timely reminder of how America struggles to define its relationship with the rest of the world. Due to mature content, this show is recommended for students in grades nine and above. Please join the cast for a Q&A following the Friday evening performance.
After a wildly successful premiere last spring, Theater Fest is back! Join the Upper School for a celebration of music & theater as students present their work in the performing arts. Original and published material promises not to disappoint.
