Speech Camp For Girls
There is a speech camp for girls entering 7th, 8th, and 9th grade this summer. It will be run by speech/drama director John Vullo.
St. Joseph’s Academy’s Speech camp is designed to improve your competitive speaking skills in the events held by the Catholic Interscholastic Speech League. Students enrolled in this camp will have an opportunity to work on an event category of their choice. The events covered by the CISL include: Extemporaneous Speaking, Duet Acting, Oratory, Prose/ Poetry, Radio Broadcasting, Humorous/Serious, and Story Telling.
Welcome to the Drama Department!
New and exciting changes are happening in the Drama Department this year. Check out our new Drama Club. The students run every aspect of the club, including meetings, which will include guest speakers from the St. Louis professional theatre, events, such as our student directed One-Acts, and celebrations, like our banquet at the end of the school year.
Whether your interest is on stage, or back stage, we hope you will get involved in the exciting new directions of the drama department at St. Joseph’s Academy.

Stage Door
Stage Door introduces us to a group of young women who have chosen to pursue a life in the theatre. They live at The Footlights Club, a boarding home for women of the theatre. The Club is run by Mrs. Orcutt, a former actress.
The main plot focuses on Terry Randell, a feisty, dedicated, actress who pursues her dream of becoming a broadway actress in spite of setbacks and obstacles. While other members of the boarding house give up, get married, commit suicide, and run off and get married, Terry sticks to her guns and takes the chance to realize her dream.
The play set in the 1930’s was performed at
St. Joseph’s Academy on
February 7, 8, & 9th at 7:30 P.M. in the St. Joseph’s Academy Performing Arts Theatre.
