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 will 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. The Drama Department at John Carroll Catholic High School offers a number of different Drama Courses which include the following:
Freshman Drama: Beginning Acting, Improv, and Intro to Theatre for 9th graders only. Drama I: Beginning Acting, Improv, and Intro to Theatre for 10th - 12th graders only. Drama II: Intermediate Acting and Audition Process (Prerequisite: Freshman Drama or Drama I)
