Theatrical History

SJHS has a long history of theatrical performances. Here is a list of all full length productions performed and directed by either SJHS students or teachers since 1962. The production of "Carousel" in 1958 by Edgar Moore appears to be the first full stage musical but Mr. Moore left the school in the following year only to return in the early '60's and start to rebuild the tradition which has continued to this day. The record is remarkable.
