Throughout the 2024-25 school year, the St. Mary's Performing Arts Department is proud to perform not just one, but TWO musicals - one show in the fall and one show in the spring.
This year's fall musical is The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The show will debut in the Gus Galasso Performing Arts Center Friday, November 8th and Saturday, November 9th. Curtain will be at 7pm on both nights.
Tickets are going fast, so get yours today! A select number of tickets will also be available at the door.
Can't make it to the show? Well, there is no better time to support the Arts at St. Mary's. As the performance season rolls on, there is always a financial need that comes with putting on such high quality shows. You can make a gift and designate it towards the Queen's Players Performing Arts Fund below.
The Arts have such a strong legacy here at St. Mary's. The performers in this show, as well as all of those who have come before and all those who will take the stage in the future, are so thankful for your support.
Break a leg!
St. Mary's Brings The Wizard of Oz to the Gus Galasso Stage
Todo, I think we're not in Kansas anymore.
The talented cast and crew took the stage in 2023's performance of The Wizard of Oz, starring Amelia Fontaine '23 as Dorothy, Alex Walter '23 as the Scarecrow, Alex Sylvester '23 as the Tinman, and Nick Cox '24 as the Lion. The show performed to sold-out crowds all weekend long!

Starring Seniors Dylan Gurnari as Seymour and Allison Krawczyk as Audrey, Little Shop of Horrors brings so much talent to the stage. This year's production will take place in the Kenny Awards, also back from a two-year hiatus.
