Welcome to Calvert Hall Theatre

Great theatre drives an audience to a reaction: to yell, to think, to laugh, to cry, and even to scream. It transports the audience, and the performers, to a place far beyond the theater. The Calvert Hall Theatre Department is a vibrant and flourishing program that offers this experience to the young men of Calvert Hall, as well as to talented young ladies from local high schools. The program drives our students to take risks and learn to communicate with honesty, clarity, and passion.
 
Theatre students are trained in all aspects of technical theatre and design, including how to run and manage the sound and light equipment for our state-of-the-art stage and our 1300-seat theater. Each season, they produce and perform two to three full length productions.
 
For more information about the Calvert Hall Theatre program, please contact our theatre Director, Dr. Jeremy Eaton.

Show synopsis: In August 1947, Joe Keller is visited by a neighbor Frank who is inquiring about making a horoscope for Joe’s son Larry who went missing during WWII. Joe’s wife, Kate deeply believes that Larry is alive, though the rest of the family including their other son, Chris think otherwise. Chris returns to his family home to propose to Larry’s former girlfriend, Ann Deever. Ann’s father, Steve, was Joe’s partner in their machine shop business and is now serving time in jail for sending broken parts to the war front resulting in the deaths of twenty-one pilots. Chris and Ann become engaged and the family relationships are further tried when George Deever, Ann’s brother arrives claiming that Joe should be serving his father’s sentence. Kate must face the truth of Larry’s fate and Joe must deal with the dreadful guilt of his actions.
