Theatre and Music
Every year Holy Names Academy performs theater productions for the students and the community. In the fall, a musical is produced; in the winter, a play. The New Works Festival, in the spring, consists of one-act plays and short films written, directed, acted, and produced by students. Advanced, state-of-the-art lighting equipment and software were installed in the school's auditorium in 2011.
Music ensembles include a concert choir, vocal ensemble, jazz band, chamber ensemble and orchestra, which give at least two concerts per year, travel to competitions, and perform at school events. The school provides students with in-house music recording and production studios, with editing software.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or music:
“Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans—which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
