Major Bowes Auditorium
The Major Bowes Theatre is named after the host of the Major Bowes Amateur Hour, Edward Bowes. He was America's best known radio talent in the 1930s and 1940s. Each week, Bowes would chat with the contestants and listen to their performances. Through this radio program, he was able to find undiscovered talent and send them on vaudeville tours. Since 1949, the Major Bowes Auditorium has been one of the focal points of activity in the school. The theatre program sponsors many programs such as the Annual Alumni Theatre, Annual Talent Show, the Fall Dramas, and the Spring Musicals.

Famous quotes containing the word major:
“When I see that the nineteenth century has crowned the idolatry of Art with the deification of Love, so that every poet is supposed to have pierced to the holy of holies when he has announced that Love is the Supreme, or the Enough, or the All, I feel that Art was safer in the hands of the most fanatical of Cromwell’s major generals than it will be if ever it gets into mine.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
