The Arts @ Trafalgar

Here at Trafalgar, the arts speaks for themselves.

Whether it's through our Drama, Music, or Visual Arts programs, students are given a safe space to grow their excitement, pride, and confidence both within and beyond - and sometimes on! - our school walls.

Not to mention our House Plays every spring - a memorable experience and beloved tradition that unites all Trafalgar students!
When we have students who love to create, we find opportunities for them to shine.

  • PETER AND THE STARCATCHER

    This year’s senior play transported audiences to a world of pirates, starstuff, and imagination with Peter and the Starcatcher, a whimsical prequel to Peter Pan written by Rick Elice and based on the novels by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Under the direction of Ms. Violini, the cast and crew delivered three outstanding performances, blending humor, heart, and theatrical magic. From inventive sets and clever costumes to the sharp timing and emotional depth of the performers, every element of the production came together beautifully. Congratulations to the entire team for a job brilliantly done, and thank you to everyone who came out to support the show! And let’s not forget the sweet start to the evening, courtesy of the graduation fundraiser bake sale.
     
    A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR - The world of make-belief has always held a special place in my heart. I truly believe in the power of imagination, and the story of Peter Pan keeps that magic alive. It was a joy to explore how Peter became Peter Pan, how Black Stache transformed into Captain Hook, and how each beloved character found their place in this whimsical world. This play is rich with satire, magic, and storytelling, and this cast embraced every bit of it. With only a few months to prepare, all while balancing school, sports, and other commitments, what they accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary. Perhaps it was magic that brought us here… or maybe just a lot of hard work! - Ms. Violini
