The Steward School

Just the ticket for a great night of theatre

Superb acting, dancing, and singing, along with inspired costumes and set designs, elicit rave reviews from audiences who attend Steward’s theatre department mainstage productions. From April 25-27, theatergoers are in for a real treat with “One Hit Wonder,” which takes place at 7 p.m. in the Lora M. Robins Theatre, located within the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts. Admission is free and open to the public. Map and directions

“One Hit Wonder," by Jeremy Desmon and Jesse Vargas, is directed by Lower School Theatre and Upper School Acting Teacher Craig Smith. The wildly fun pop/rock jukebox musical includes one-hit wonders like “Walking on Sunshine,” “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” and “Tainted Love.” This play is all about music, love, and second chances … and it is all set to a soundtrack of the greatest one-hit wonders of all time.

Spartans of all ages have opportunities to participate in Steward’s theatre productions onstage or behind the scenes. In the fall of 2023, audiences were delighted by “The Addams Family,” directed by Middle School Theatre/Upper School Public Speaking Teacher Susan Sanford.

“Audiences loved the show … we had great houses for all three performances with lots of laughs!” she said.

The 2024 winter play, “Little Women,” was based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. Directed by Mr. Smith, the play tells the tale of four sisters growing up in the middle of the Civil War.

Ms. Sanford noted, “Theatre offers an opportunity to be part of a team working toward a common goal. It is that ‘ensemble feeling’ that can resonate long after students graduate: a sense that they were part of something that moved an audience.”
