Providing Exceptional, Faith-Filled, Student-Centered Opportunities for Our Students

Magnificat’s Performing Arts Department provides exceptional, faith-filled, student-centered opportunities for students interested in dance, drama, voice, and technical theater. Students have access to the latest technology, innovative techniques, and experienced arts professionals from around the country. 

State-of-the-Art Center for the Performing Arts

Our state-of-the-art Center for the Performing Arts houses a 1,000-seat theater with computerized sound and lighting systems, over 100 lighting instruments, and a full orchestra pit. Other amenities include a spacious choral room, a dance studio with sprung-wood flooring, dressing rooms, a green room with lighted make-up mirrors, and a scene shop area for assembling props or set pieces. Our resident costume designer works with students to design and sew costumes for various productions.

  • Expanding Creativity

    Being able to think on your feet, approach tasks from different perspectives and think ‘outside of the box’ will distinguish your student from others.
  • Building Confidence

    The skills developed through theater, not only train you how to convincingly deliver a message, but also build the confidence you need to take command of the stage.
  • Enhancing Collaboration Skills

    Most arts disciplines are collaborative in nature. Students work together to accomplish a common goal.
  • Strengthening Focus

    Keeping a balance between listening and contributing involves a great deal of concentration and focus.
