The Notre Dame arts community has been flourishing this season, with outstanding performances across theater and music that showcase the remarkable talents of our students.

Theater Delivers Broadway Magic

Last weekend, Notre Dame Theater delighted audiences with its lively musical comedy Curtains: School Edition, presented in The Collins '58 Auditorium. The production blended Broadway flair with a classic whodunit, delivering an evening filled with laughter, suspense, and show-stopping performances.

Directed by Mrs. Casey LaMonaca, the cast—made up of more than fifty students from Notre Dame, Sacred Heart Academy, Lauralton Hall High School, West Haven High School, Hamden High School, and Platt Tech—brought the 1950s Broadway mystery to life with infectious energy, strong vocals, and dynamic choreography. Audiences were kept guessing until the final moments.

Looking ahead, Notre Dame Theater will present You Can't Take It With You on February 27, 28, and March 1, with auditions currently underway.

Music Department Rings in the Holidays

The Notre Dame Music Department, under the direction of new faculty member Jonathan Bean, put on a cheerful and heartfelt performance on December 11th. This event featured the Concert Band, Pep Band, Drumline, and Chorus. Also featured were solo and duet performances by Eric Robinson '28, Alison Maloney '29 and Valentina Quijano '29, Marco Blakeslee '26, and Liam Paul '28. Collins Auditorium had a feeling of true holiday cheer as a packed house of fully engaged audience members celebrated the season.

Both productions highlight the creativity, collaboration, and dedication of Notre Dame students and staff, affirming that the arts continue to be a vibrant and essential part of the Notre Dame experience.
