Marian Players

The theater program at Saint Paul’s began in 1987. Today the theater program includes classes Theater I, II, and III.  The theater also includes the “Marian Players” a group dedicated students from Saint Paul’s and colleagues from the surrounding area who perform two productions a year. In the fall the players do a drama and in the spring the students do a musical production.  The Marian Players do their productions in the renovated Alumni Theater, which is the only original building on campus.  Every Lenten season the students do a Passion Play for the community and the student body.
