Drama

At Bishop Blanchet, our drama department is a welcoming and inclusive community where every voice is valued and every story matters. Whether students dream of a future in theatre or are simply exploring something new, we believe that the process of making theatre cultivates creativity, empathy, and enthusiasm in young people. Our program offers a supportive space where students are encouraged to take risks, make bold choices, and grow both as artists and individuals. Guided by our motto, “Full Out!,” we strive to create meaningful theatrical experiences that inspire both performers and audiences alike by leading with passion, integrity, and unbridled joy—bringing our whole selves to every moment on and off the stage.

The drama department offers comprehensive acting and musical theatre classes, three classes in theatre design, and a three-show season: a fall play, a student-directed one-act festival, and a spring musical.

Students can participate in the performances both on stage acting and behind the scenes with one of our five crews: Stage Crew, Costume Crew, Hair and Makeup Crew, Publicity Crew, and Stage Management.

The Music Man

By turns mischievous, funny, warm, and romantic, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best! Meredith Willson’s six-time Tony Award–winning musical has delighted audiences since 1957. The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill, who cons the citizens of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band—despite not knowing a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town are upended when he falls for Marian the librarian, discovering love, community, and redemption along the way.
