WELCOME TO THE
ST. PAUL CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE PROGRAM

"Participating in theatre at Central was one of the most powerful and positive experiences in my daughter’s life."

- Kent Pekel, Superintendent of Rochester Public Schools

Central's theatre program offers an inclusive and comprehensive theatre arts experience to all students.  We offer a wide variety of theatre classes, where students study acting, musical theatre, technical aspects of theatre, improvisation, and other rotating topics.  Students sharpen their craft through in-class collaborative work and/or theatrical productions.  We offer three productions per year, including a student-directed cabaret.  We invite you to explore this site for more information and to come experience our fall musical, Hadestown: Teen Edition , in October.  From all of the theatre program staff at Central, we look forward to meeting you.

Central's enduring theatre program can trace its roots to the founding of a drama club 

by students in 1905 - a vibrant contribution to Minnesota's oldest high school!  

St. Paul Central High School Theater Boosters are thrilled to announce our fall musical,
Hadestown: Teen Edition  

Complete details regarding cast auditions and how to join a tech crew or the pit orchestra can be found by clicking on 

'Hadestown' in the menu at the top of this page. 



Performance dates will be October 11, 12, and 13, 2024.

Volunteers are vital to Central’s theatre program. It is only with the generosity and dedication of people like you that we can continue to offer fulfilling theatrical experiences to our students.
