High School Drama/Theatre Program

  • About Us
    The theatre program at Paul V. Moore is an inclusive space where all students are free to be themselves and express their love of the Performing Arts together. The Co-Advisors of the Paul V. Moore High School Theatre Program are Mr. Burton and Mrs. Gullo.  Their goals are to give a variety of performance and leadership roles to students.  The fall features a student directed One Act Play Festival.  This gives Seniors a chance to produce, design and lead a show to the stage with adult mentors.  In addition, the winter features our musical production, led by Mrs. Mainville and Mrs. Schantz (with Mr. Burton and Mrs. Gullo on the more technical side of things).  The program is open to all students at Paul V. Moore High School, and we encourage students to come join us and participate in a production - whether that be acting, participating in set building, advertising, light/set crew, and so much more! The hard work all students and staff put into the productions they work on is conveyed in the spectacular performances the community is able to enjoy. For participants, a highlight is the opportunity to see professional productions in a variety of settings (Broadway, Syracuse Stage, and more!).
