Afterschool Enrichment

The Drama Department at St. Pius X School is inclusive  Any student who wishes to participate in our drama productions may do so. All interested students have an opportunity to perform. Our spring musicals  are staged with roles for every student who auditions; each performer gets their individual moment to “shine” on the stage. Students have an opportunity to fine tune already established skills or to perform for the first time in their lives. Students learn skills that they will carry with them for a lifetime – poise, teamwork, technical skills, and more. St. Pius X School enthusiastically supports the arts with our annual Lower School Drama Production.
