Notes from the Performing Arts Department: Spring 2025

Hello all,

What an inspiring, creative and joyful year we are having in the Performing Arts Department. In addition to our class programming in all three divisions, we've hosted a number of special events––from concerts in the Middle and Upper School, our first and second-grade ¡Al Carnaval! performance, and the 4th-grade theater showcase to Calhoun Coffee House, the Upper School fall play, and our inaugural Middle School musical. We have so much to celebrate at Calhoun! 

See below for information on the Upper School musical Little Shop of Horrors, videos and photos from our many performances this year, and a look ahead to our spring calendar. We hope to see you at as many of our upcoming events as possible! 

Thank you, Calhoun, for your continued support of our Performing Arts program.

Sincerely,
Jackie Martino
Director of Performing Arts

Performing Arts Videos & Photos

This year, we have been able to record and, in some cases, livestream our performing arts events with our new three-camera system in the theater. The new system allows for high quality recordings, as seen in our performing arts video showcase. Special thanks to our Director of Technology, Ally Herold, for partnering with us! 

Photos from concerts and shows are also available on Calhoun's private media gallery
