Drama, in its various forms, is a valuable part of the Glenstal experience. Research indicates that drama has a positive impact on a student’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.

All students are encouraged to participate in the the annual school musical production and students in our junior year groups take part in the annual play.

Every student is encouraged to pursue an interest in some aspect of these productions, whether it be acting, set design, stage management or lighting and sound.

An Arts and Drama week is included in the Transition Year programme.

Recent productions include – “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcost”, “Mammia Mia, Here We Go Again”, “Back to the Eighties”,  “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Our House – The Madness Musical”.
