Recent Productions of the St. Paul's Dramatic Society - The 2000s and 2010s

The years of change that had begun with Fr. Murray's departure continued into the early 2000s. The Society continued to evolve and adapt based on the interests and availability of the faculty and administration. 
Following the reintroduction of the Spring performance, the Society sought to revitalize the shows with the debut of dinner theatre. Held in the Spring of 2000, the first dinner theatre featured two one-act plays, including Mr. Beeston's first play They're Hardly Boys, and a performance by the St. Paul's Improve Team (S.P.I.T.). Since this first dinner theatre, it has become an annual feature of the Society. The thematic evenings often feature music, comedy, and audience interaction. 
Plays have become increasingly diverse as the favoured one-act comedies of dinner theatre have been balanced by more dramatic productions. Performances of The Meteor, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and It's a Wonderful Life have been staged and well-received by audiences. 
The versatility of the cast and crew as well as the variety of the performances has reinvigorated the Society and expanded their experiences and successes.
