At Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School, we believe that the performing arts play a vital role in nurturing well-rounded, creative, and confident individuals. Our commitment to artistic excellence is embodied in the magnificent Eleanor Dempsey Performing Arts Center (EDPAC), a state-of-the-art 880-seat theater that serves as the beating heart of our vibrant arts community. This impressive venue not only showcases the talents of our students but also hosts a diverse array of events, from captivating plays and toe-tapping musicals to soul-stirring concerts and thought-provoking speaking engagements. The EDPAC provides our aspiring actors, musicians, dancers, and technical crew members with a professional-grade platform to hone their skills and share their passions with audiences. Beyond the spotlight, our comprehensive performing arts program offers a rich tapestry of opportunities for students to explore their creative potential, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a deep appreciation for the arts. Whether students are belting out show tunes in our annual musical, delivering powerful monologues in a dramatic production, harmonizing in our choir, or working behind the scenes to bring productions to life, they are part of a supportive, collaborative community that celebrates artistic expression in all its forms. Through our performing arts curriculum, students not only develop technical proficiency but also gain invaluable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and self-expression – qualities that will serve them well beyond their time on our stage. As we continue to nurture the next generation of artists, thinkers, and leaders, the EDPAC stands as a testament to our unwavering dedication to the arts and our belief in their power to transform lives and enrich our school community.
