The Arts and Clubs
Providence, aiming to enrich the creative, collaborative, and intellectual minds of students, offers a variety of clubs and activities related to the arts.
Clubs
DRAMA CLUB
GRADES 7-12
The St. Genesius Guild offers students the opportunity to explore and grow in the dramatic arts. Drama provides an irreplaceable means of developing confidence, public speaking, poise, emotional formation, camaraderie, and a deeper understanding of literature (all of which are elements of the rhetoric stage of education). In a play, students don't just analyze or study a work of art, they live it. Furthermore, members can gain practical knowledge of what it takes to put on a production, both on stage and behind the scenes. Drama club is led by faculty members with acting experience and includes a range of activities, from informative videos and acting exercises to skits and full-length plays.
SCHOLA
GRADES 6-12
A voice ensemble open to students by audition. Schola members practice two mornings a week preceding school and sing at Mass twice a week. Several additional opportunities are available for the group to perform and share their vocal gifts with the community.
