Curtain calls in Pingree Auditorium and an added sense of confidence await boys looking to explore the thespian arts. 

Pingree boasts a full proscenium stage, dressing rooms, lighting system, and excellent acoustics. This gives you room to explore set design, lighting, and sound techniques as well as acting. It also seats more than 250 people, which allows you to present your work to the entire Christ School community as well as the general public.

Putting on a play is a real-life skill that brings together academics, athleticism, and professionalism. Through Christ School’s Theater Program, students are exposed to opportunities including technical work, set building, and lighting in addition to acting. Theater Programs improve scholasticism while also building leadership, teaching self-discipline, promoting communication, and increasing compassion - it is a vital element to a well-rounded education.

All is Calm - The Christmas Truce of 1914 | December 2023

Posters line the walls of Pingree Theater, one for every play that Mary Dillon has directed since 2001. Her 40th is a timely holiday gift to the Christ School community the weekend before Christmas Break.  

“All is Calm – The Christmas Truce of 1914” was presented in December 2023, just before the boys left for the holiday break, and was Mrs. Dillon's final production before retirement.
