West Catholic Theatre Program

SUPPORT THE THEATRE

Each year, West Catholic produces three theatre performances: a fall play, a winter Shakespeare production (in partnership with Catholic Central) and a spring musical. It costs over $18,000 to put on our musical alone. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to be used to fund the purchase of costumes, props, set materials and any other needs of the theatre program. Your gift in support of WC Theatre provides students an opportunity to express themselves, build confidence and learn how teamwork can lead to success.

Donations can be mailed to West Catholic, Attn: Theatre Program, or made online using the Donate Now button.

2024-2025 Theatre Season

Trap

BY STEPHEN GREGG

This production is rated PG and is recommended for audiences 10 years old and up. The play contains suspenseful moments and intense situations that may be unsettling for younger children. There is no graphic violence, gore, or inappropriate content, but the atmosphere of the play is designed to be unsettling at times.

An incomprehensible event: every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious—every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders, and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past. Unnerving, exhilarating, and wildly inventive, you’ve never walked into anything quite like it.

Show Dates: October 29 – November 1, 2025

PLAYBILL

The Winter’s Tale

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Combined cast with Catholic Central High School

A Shakespearean play about King Leontes of Sicilia, whose unfounded jealousy leads him to accuse his wife, Hermione, resulting in the death of their son, the banishment of their infant daughter, Perdita, and the queen’s presumed death.
