The Fine Arts department at USJ is known for its show stopping productions given by our Middle and Upper School students. Several Upper School musicals have been nominated for the Orpheum’s High School Musical Theatre Awards, which is part of the National High School Musical Theatre Awards program including 30 programs from across the United States. Aside from performance opportunities, students are also able to take on the responsibilities of set design, choreography, and other activities required for a production. Upper School students are also heavily involved in assisting our Middle School students with their productions. Whether its choreography or backstage supervision, Upper School students gain knowledge of the working parts of a musical aside from performance. Through this, Middle School students are given the opportunity to connect with and learn from those older than them. When involved in a USJ musical, each student experiences firsthand the process of putting on a show from beginning to end.
Auditions for the upper school's Spring production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella will be held in the Blankenship Theater after school on January 19 & 20. The auditions will be for upper school students only. Show dates are March 5 - 7.
With everything going on right now, our biggest priority is the safety of our students, faculty and audience members. In order to ensure that safety, the Arts Guild has worked closely with USJ administration to create policies and procedures that will be enforced for this year's productions.
