This page was created to inform the general public of the excellent work John Carroll Theatre produces. John Carroll Theatre produces one major Fall production in November, usually a play and one major musical theatre production in the Spring, usually in March. We also hope to produce at least two One-Act or Studio productions throughout the year as well. Dates, details, and ticket information wil
l be posted on this page in the weeks prior to the production opening. John Carroll Catholic High School has a 633 seat Auditorium with a proscenium style performance space. The backstage area houses a 16 line fly system. The whole space is 20 years old and there are a number of repairs and upgrades that are needed to continue to be able to produce high quality theatre in a safe and functional space. In the future, you will be able to find information about fund raisers, where 100% of the funds raised will go towards these repairs and upgrades. Stay tuned for more information.
