ST. PAUL CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE PROGRAM
"I do not have words adequate to express how impressed I was with St. Paul Central's production of Hadestown. The talent!!! Oh my god, the TALENT on that stage!! The costumes were perfect, the set was perfect, and the pit orchestra deserved their own standing ovation. I was genuinely blown away! I've seen Broadway performances
that were not as solid."
- A. McNattin, Audience and Community Member
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 winter cabaret. 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!
