ARTS - Performing Arts Center

De La Salle’s performing arts programs have been highly regarded for decades, serving not only our students but also serving as a vital resource for Carondelet High School students.

The program has flourished thanks to an exceptional faculty and engaged alumni population, and 40 percent of the student body participates in various performing arts programs. The original theater, built as an auditorium in 1965, needs comprehensive renovations and seismic retrofitting. The new multi-purpose Performing Arts Center will allow for a multitude of uses: classroom and academic purposes, performances, meetings, and liturgies. Plans include a new lobby, a new raised roof, upgrades to lighting, sound, and acoustics, increased stage size, fly and wing space, storage areas for costumes and sets, ADA access, firesprinklers, and more.

The Performing Arts Center will …

• Broaden the arts curriculum
• Provide an enhanced gathering space
• Address safety concerns
• Draw more students to the arts
• Provide a dedicated set-building space and storage for costumes and sets
• Add dressing rooms, a control booth, a lighting grid, and an orchestra pit
