The Arts at St. Margaret's

At St. Margaret's Episcopal School, we believe that everyone is on an artistic journey. Through experiences in the visual arts, music, dance, theater and technical arts, students discover and nurture the artists within. As students from Early Childhood School through Upper School are introduced to the fundamentals of the art forms, they learn how to learn. An arts education at St. Margaret's develops 21st Century Learning Skills, supports all core subjects, creates empathy, builds bridges and helps develop voice and vision.
 
The arts are thriving at St. Margaret's. Through many artistic endeavors, students celebrate their own work and the work of their peers and their artistic experiences connect them to generations of artists and audiences. The transforming power of the arts is vividly experienced as students explore their talents as playwrights, directors, actors, technical crew members, costume and make up designers, graphic designers, filmmakers, studio artists, photographers, choreographers, composers, literary artists and more. As the artists' skills increase through practice, they become comfortable in viewing their - and others' - work in the arts as a journey, not as a destination.
 
The St. Margaret's arts faculty consists of dedicated professional arts educators, all of whom maintain an active professional life in the arts in addition to their work with our students.

    US Play Performance

    US Play: Lord of the Flies

    Nigel Williams’s adaptation of the William Golding novel explores the themes of civilization versus savagery, power, and the darkness within human nature, as seen in the novel.  A plane wreck strands a group of students on a deserted island during wartime. As they slowly explore their new-found freedom, what starts out as fun and games turns into a vicious battle for power when the students split into two opposing factions: one that strives for civility and another that delights in savage violence. The competition escalates into a dangerous, frightening climax, as this thrilling classic dives into the darker parts of human nature, including civilization vs. savagery and the mob vs. morality.
