Saint John School's Drama Club:
Proud to Present "The Nifty Fifties" April 2016 "The Nifty Fifties" was a light-hearted throwback to the 1950's with a cast and crew of over 40 students. Parent-volunteers created the beautiful set of Louis's Luncheonette and the Edsel car; they helped with marketing, sound, props and set-up before the show. There was even a live concert by Ziggy Springer and his band (an Elvis Presley character!). The live band was a highlight of the show. We had both electric and acoustic guitar players, a drummer and a keyboard player. The students sang, danced and acted so professionally and the group truly became a family! Both nights were sold out with over 300 people in the audience. Sister Gabriela and Mrs. Corcoran can't wait for next year's performance (it's top secret what the show will be) and hope everyone will come out and see it! |

Drama Club Dazzles with “Twinderella” April 2015
The cast and crew of over thirty students performed the musical comedy, “Twinderella” for family, friends, and members of the St. John Parish family on Wednesday and Thursday nights, April 8th and 9th. This marked the return of a full-scale drama production to the school after a seven year hiatus. The Drama Club Coaches, Sister Gabriela (2nd grade teacher) and Ann Corcoran (5th grade teacher), were assisted by SJS alumnae and St. John parishioner, Molly Sullivan, an education coordinator at Goodspeed Musicals. Weekly practices began in December for the group of 5th to 8th grade students, many of whom had never performed on stage with an audience prior to Opening Night. Special thanks to the many parents who assisted with the sets, props, sound system, costumes, tickets and hospitality. Thank you also to the school administration, staff, and teachers for your help in the production. Congratulations to all for a job well done! |
