Holy Trinity Presents Student-Directed One-Act Plays

When students in the Holy Trinity Performing Arts program enter their junior year, one of their major projects is to present one-act plays that the students produce and direct.

This year, five award-winning one-act plays were presented in the school’s “Music Box Theatre,, which is normally the school’s music room.

While the juniors handle all the backstage production work, the on-stage actors can be any student in the program but selected by the student directors.  One-act plays are a great stepping stones for the students, as they experience theatre production on a small scale before having to tackle the major project in the Senior Repertory Theater class, which is the production of a full main-stage play. 

All students involved in the Senior Repertory production, backstage and on-stage, are members of the Senior Performing Arts class. This year’s Senior Repertory Theatre production is the Tony award-winning play by American playwright, Mary Zimmerman, “Metamorphoses”.

Holy Trinity High School is a private, co-educational Catholic high school founded in 1966 drawing students from Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties.  It has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education Exemplary Schools Program and is nationally known for its outstanding Academics, Athletics and Performing Arts programs.
