JAN TERM CHILDREN'S THEATRE

The Jan Term Children's Show is a beloved Saint Mary's tradition. In just four weeks, Saint Mary's students (both theatre students and others from across the College) spin magic around a classic fairytale or popular children's storybook, under the direction of a guest director. The results are always enchanting - delighting more than 2,000 preschool and elementary age children, and their teachers and parents, each year.
