Growing up have you pretended you were someone else? Ever had fun with the neighborhood kids in staging a show for family and friends? Like to entertain people?

Each year the Mount stages two theatrical productions: a Fall Drama and a Spring Musical. Both productions are directed by Jonathan Wentz who has directed professionally in the NJ/NY area for 18 years and produced by Kelly King ‘84, MSDA's Visual & Performing Arts Director.

If you have a yearning to participate in a real creative adventure either in front of the curtain or behind it, we'd love to have you join us!

Byrne Performing Arts Center, the Fall Production will be replaced with a series of Theater Workshops in October and November to help students develop and brush up on acting, singing and dancing skills in preparation for our Spring musical auditions the week of December 14.
