Performing Arts

Our performing arts program develops the skills utilized in the art of storytelling through music, theater, and dance.

Students work together to perform classical dramatic material and music as well as the choreography, music, and literature of modern artists. Each student has the opportunity to create personal artistic statements through original works, choreography, and solo performances influenced by her culture, values and religious traditions.

Middle school students highlight their performances at the annual Spring Showcase Night and Family Heritage Day, and high school students prepare evening performances for their culminating class projects. 

Additional performance opportunities include major theatrical productions from our middle school theatre ensemble, the Drama Queens, and our renowned high school company, the Genesian Players, as well as liturgies, talent shows, and other special events.

  • Drama Queens

    Our middle school students participate in multiple staged productions each year through the Drama Queens, our exciting club for aspiring thespians. Past performances have included Sister Act, The Descendants and Fiddler on the Roof.

  • The Genesians

    Our renowned high school theatre company stages two fully-produced shows each year, with students serving as cast and crew. Recent shows have included Newsies and The Heidi Chronicles as well as this year's exciting production of Little Shop of Horrors.

  • Liturgical Band, Choir & Dance

    Talented student musicians, singers and dancers audition, practice and perform at school-sponsored liturgies and special events.

  • Dance Team

    Immaculate Heart High School's dance team performs modern, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical dance and more in local and regional competitions.

  • In the Curriculum

    Classes introduce and develop skills utilized in the art of storytelling through music, theater, and dance. More advanced courses include Dance for Musical Theatre, Introduction to Directing and Performing Shakespeare.
