Performing Arts
Our Performing Arts program provides students with a dynamic and immersive experience in theater and filmmaking. Designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, and self-expression, the program allows students to explore the arts in a supportive, all-girls environment that fosters both personal and artistic growth.
Theater Program
Our theater program is at the heart of the Performing Arts at Saint Saviour. With two major productions each year, students are given the opportunity to shine both on stage and behind the scenes. From acting and directing to costume and set design, students collaborate to bring incredible performances to life.
Each production offers roles both on and off stage, allowing students to participate in acting, stage management, lighting and sound design, and more. These performances not only showcase their hard work but also help students develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills.
