A NEW SEASON
As we set sail into the 2025–2026 school year at One School of the Arts & Sciences, we do so Anchored in Love—embracing this year’s beautiful theme. Inspired by Philippians 1:9–10, we are called to pursue a love that “abounds more and more... in knowledge and all keen insight... so that [we] may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value.”
In the Theatre Department, we believe storytelling is a sacred vehicle for this kind of love and discernment. Theatre opens hearts and minds, allowing scholars to explore truth, develop empathy, and find their God-given voice within the community. This year’s season of shows reflects that purpose with remarkable clarity. Each title points us to what is truly vital—resilience, compassion, transformation, and grace—woven into stories that are both entertaining and deeply meaningful. We invite you to join us for a season of extraordinary productions:
James & the Giant Peach
(October) – A whimsical adventure about faith, bravery, and the family we find along the way.
Alice in Wonderland
A one-act adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s timeless story that reminds us to stay curious and grounded in who we are.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
A tender tale of a porcelain rabbit who learns the power and cost of love.
The Outsiders
A powerful coming-of-age story about identity, loyalty, and finding humanity across lines of difference.
Mary Poppins
A magical reminder that love, kindness, and imagination can transform even the most hardened hearts and divided homes.
This season has been thoughtfully selected to challenge, inspire, and nurture our scholars in alignment with our school’s mission and Christian values. These stories encourage us to prize what is excellent and of real value—not just on stage, but in our daily lives.
We warmly encourage your scholars to audition for the productions, join the technical theatre team, or support the shows in other ways. Every production is a learning experience, and each student’s contribution—onstage or off—is vital to the success of our theatre community. We also invite families to attend each show and witness the incredible growth, artistry, and joy that comes from collaborative storytelling grounded in Christ-centered values.
Thank you for trusting us to help shape the hearts and creative gifts of your children. We can’t wait to see what God will do through this season—and through each one of them.
With gratitude and excitement,
Katie Corrie
Director of Theatre

One School Theatre Department produces a wide variety of theatrical pieces appropriate for all One School Families. Pieces have been carefully chosen for their universal themes including friendship, family, love, acceptance, courage and perseverance, selflessness and sacrifice - just to name a few. We would love to see every seat of our auditorium filled for all of our performances, as theatre has a profound ability to unite our One School community in several impactful ways:
Shared Experience: Theatre brings people together to witness and participate in a live, communal experience. Audiences share emotions, reactions, and reflections during and after performances, fostering a sense of connection and camaraderie.
Celebration of Diversity: Theatre often showcases diverse stories, perspectives, and cultures, allowing community members to learn about and appreciate different backgrounds and experiences. This promotes understanding and empathy among individuals from various walks of life.
Cultural Enrichment: Theatre enriches One School community life by offering scholars, faculty and parents opportunities for artistic expression, creativity, and entertainment. Productions may incorporate music, dance, visual arts, and literature, enhancing cultural vibrancy and providing accessible arts experiences for all.
Educational Opportunities: Theatre programs provide valuable learning experiences in performance skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and self-expression. These programs often contribute to personal development and lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Community Empowerment: Theatre can empower marginalized or underrepresented groups by giving voice to their stories and experiences. It serves as a platform for advocacy, social change, and empowerment within the community.
Overall, theatre serves as a powerful catalyst for unity, fostering connections, understanding, and a shared sense of belonging among community members through the transformative medium of live performance. We will see you there!
