About the Club

It is an extracurricular activity designed to engage students in performing arts and theater. Students learn acting, communication skills, and build self-confidence.

In 2021, once COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, the students competed at the Saint Brendan's Academic Olympics and won 2nd Place with their performance of the song, “My Shot,” from the musical Hamilton.

In 2022, at the Saint Brendan's Academic Olympics they won 1st Place with the song, "Carnaval del Barrio," from the musical, "In the Heights". Then, the following month at the Christopher Columbus’ Academic Olympics they won 2nd and 3rd Place in the Drama category.

This year at the Academic Olympics we did great. At Christopher Columbus Academic Olympics in Music with Adele’s “All I Ask” we won 2nd Place - Silver Medal and in Drama with the monologue “The King” we won 2nd Place-Silver Medal.

At St. Brendan’s High School Academic Olympic Drama won 3rd Place- Bronze medal with “Holding out for a Hero” from the musical Footloose.

It is a real privilege for me to work with such a talented group of students. My wish for them is that they discover their creative and intellectual selves in community with others, share their God given talents, and always,
“GO BIG or GO HOME!”

Remember, like Annie taught us in 2023's production: no matter what life brings you, there is always “Tomorrow,” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile!

Keep smiling!

Annie JR

2023

Based on “Little Orphan Annie” By Permission of Tribune Contenct Agency, LLC.

Annie is a musical based on the comic Little Orphan Annie by American cartoonist Harold Gray.

The music was composed by Charles Strouse, and the lyrics were written by Martin Charnin.

The show follows a girl named Annie who is a plucky red-haired girl who dreams of life outside of the orphanage. One day a guy named Oliver Warbucks wants to spend the holidays with an orphan. So he sent his assistant to find an orphan to adopt. When Annie wins the hearts of Warbucks and his staff, they set out on an epic mission to find Annie’s parents. Meanwhile, Miss Hannigan, in partnership with her brother Rooster and his girlfriend Lily, attempts to make some money out of this unique situation. The stories become intertwined as the lovable Annie’s story hits the national spotlight.

The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre). It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical's songs "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard Knock Life" are among its most popular musical numbers.
