Northwest Catholic's Fine & Performing Arts Program rivals the largest public and private schools in the State. Whether it is in the classroom, with 27 courses to choose from, or after school, with clubs ranging from Dramateurs to Muse, Northwest Catholic invites students to pursue their interests in the fine and performing arts.
Eight experienced faculty members, all professionals in their fields, champion the arts at NWC and guide students, beginner to expert.
Northwest Catholic's spring production of The Sound of Music might be on hold, but the school's theater troupe sticks together like family. Directors Mrs. Avery and Ms. Morran have created a "team" in NWC Virtual School Microsoft Teams app. Dramateurs should stay tuned for club meetings and messages.
NWC Performing Arts Chair Sara Avery said, "We are especially excited this year to welcome students from four different West Hartford schools — Smith, Webster Hill, Wolcott, and St. Timothy’s.
Northwest Catholic endowed their longstanding Damuth Music Scholarship fund this month with a generous gift of $150,000 from the Dr. R. Lee Damuth and Adeline J. Damuth Foundation.
Northwest Catholic invites the entire community, including alumni, alumni parents, as well as current and alumni grandparents to its Annual Christmas Concert on Thursday, December 19 at 7pm in the Rice Auditorium.
The Northwest Catholic Dramateurs will present their fall play, Dancing at Lughnasa, this Fri., Nov. 15 at 7pm, Sat., Nov. 16 at 7pm, and Sun., Nov. 17 at 2pm.
