Notre Dame Academy’s acclaimed arts program nurtures our students’ artistic excellence and provides endless opportunities for creative expression.
At NDA, theatre is about opportunity! Because we have a 850 seat auditorium that can transform into a blackbox backstage theatre, we are the only Catholic school in the Toledo area that can stage all our productions in our own theatre. Performance opportunities are available through NDA’s fall musical, spring play, and student-directed one-acts. NDA has also had the honor of being invited to perform at the prestigious Edinburgh Theatre Fringe Festival in Scotland, with successful performances in 2012, 2016, and 2019.
Leadership opportunities abound as student directors and stage managers run the show. IB juniors direct one acts for junior academy and high school students. Stage crew opportunities involve building sets, running lights, sounds, and projections, doing makeup and making costumes. NDA students have followed their dreams in college, and professionally, onstage and as stage managers, light, and sound designers.
Show Dates are March 28, 29 and 30 and tickets will be available for purchase in early March.
NDA artists have won local, state and national awards in 2-D and 3-D mediums as well as art criticism consistently since 2007. In addition to competitions, students may receive recognition by being admitted into the National Arts Honors Society. If you want to pursue advanced studies, you can choose Art 3 Honors and Art 4 Honors or the two year program in IB Visual Arts SL/HL. IB Visual Arts students two year program culminates in a self-curated exhibition of their artwork.
