Magnificat Performing Arts provides exceptional, faith-filled, student-centered opportunities for those students interested in participating in performing arts such as dance, drama, music, voice, and technical theatre. We provide students access to the latest technology, the most innovative techniques, and experienced arts professionals from around the country. Our state-of-the-art Center for the Performing Arts houses a 1,000-seat theatre, dance studio, dressing rooms, green room, choral room, as well as a scene shop area for building props and set pieces.
Thanks to the generosity of Brittan Burke DiSanto '79 and Fred DiSanto, Phase I of the Center for the Visual Arts at Magnificat was completed in the summer of 2022. As we enhance our physical facilities, we will also be expanding our programming to allow more students to have the opportunity to add visual arts classes to their schedules. It is clear that the visual arts provide benefits to students in many ways, which is why Magnificat High School has chosen to prioritize this curriculum as part of our holistic educational offering.
