SJS Theater Program
Theater Program overview
We take great pride in nurturing a creative and inspiring theater program for our students. Each spring, St. John’s School partners with the Raven Performing Arts Theater to bring a full-scale musical production to life. Open to all students from TK through 8th grade, our program provides a welcoming space for young performers to explore acting, singing, and stagecraft while developing confidence, teamwork, and a love for the arts.
Aligned with our mission to cultivate the whole child—academically, artistically, and spiritually—our theater program emphasizes growth through creativity, collaboration, and faith. Students of all experience levels are encouraged to discover their unique gifts, work together toward a shared vision, and celebrate the joy of storytelling. Through participation in the annual spring musical, our students not only build performance and communication skills but also deepen their appreciation for community, perseverance, and the beauty of creative expression inspired by God’s gifts.
SJS & Raven Leadership
The St. John’s School Theater Program is led in partnership with Raven Players Artistic Director, Steven David Martin, whose creativity, experience, and passion for youth theater have been instrumental in shaping our annual spring production. Steven brings a wealth of professional expertise from his work with the Raven Performing Arts Theater, guiding our students with enthusiasm and care as they grow in both confidence and performance skills.
This season, Steven collaborates closely with the SJS Play Committee, led by Jenni McCormick and Beth Rhodes, to bring our school musical to life. Together, they oversee every element of the production—from casting and rehearsals to sets, costumes, and community engagement—creating a meaningful and memorable experience for all involved. Their dedication and teamwork embody the spirit of creativity, collaboration, and faith that defines the St. John’s School theater tradition.
