THAT’S A WRAP

2022-23 Dominican Theatre Recap

Dominican Theatre had another remarkable and exciting year in 2022-23, showcasing its versatility, diversity, and talent on and off stage.

The theatre season began in October with the coming-of-age, theatrical adaption of “Little Women.” In February, Dominican theatre went back to the ’60s with the musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” which earned Ellie Murray ’24 and Mary Knoelke ’24 a Spirit Award. Finally, the season was capped off with Dominican’s spring dance revue “Elevation V” in May. Our stage crew once again was heroic and painted, built, lit, constructed, costumed, and ran all three beautiful productions.

This year we were nominated for 26 Jerry Awards, had 86 students involved, and made a lot of memories.

Bravo Dominican Theatre on a great season!

Dominican Theatre Presents Sense & Sensibility: Oct. 19-22

Dominican is thrilled to announce our 2023 Fall Play, Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility, adapted by Kate Hamill. This playful adaptation of the classic novel follows the fortunes and misfortunes of the Dashwood sisters, sensible Elinor and sensitive Marianne, after they are left financially destitute and socially vulnerable following their father’s untimely death. Hamill’s adaptation infuses this 18th century tale with humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality.

Performances of Sense & Sensibility will be held in the James & Virginia Wheeler Auditorium.
