Marist Arts Guild (MAG): Continuing the tradition of fine arts education at Marist
Applause!!
- For our War Eagle Marching Band as they pump up the school spirit at football games
- For our drama productions that provide the community with high quality entertainment,
- For our visual arts creations that stretch our imaginations, and
- For our vocal and instrumental performances that fill our hearts with music!!
We are truly blessed at Marist School for all that the Fine Arts program enables us to share together. This is made possible through the membership and support of the Marist Arts Guild (MAG).
The mission of MAG is to provide support for all aspects of the arts, and to provide access to the arts within the Marist community. Donations to MAG make much of the “behind the scenes” things possible, such as new classroom visual art equipment, musicians for our musicals, and scholarships and competitions for our students. MAG supports both classroom and extracurricular fine arts activities.
We welcome everyone to join MAG, either with donations of time or treasure. Come experience the joy of the arts at Marist!

| "The Drowsy Chaperone" Wows and Makes 'em Laugh
3/29/2013
In a real spirit of adventure, Marist Theater delighted audiences when an aviatrix lands her bi-plane on stage just in time to marry and fly four newlywed couples to Rio. This was, of course, after a hilarious unfolding of the story of "The Drowsy Chaperone," an ode to the glamorous and often over the top 1920's musicals where theatrics mattered more than plot.

"Top Ten" Amuses from Start to Finish
11/9/2012
Who knew that monosyllabic utterances with posture and attitude could tell a fine story, or that a rhythmic repetition of words and phrases could curiously decipher and decode the meaning of a simple encounter? In Marist's current and smart theater production "Top Ten" ten-minute plays, there is a blend of the experimental and whacky, stories pushing boundaries, and pieces built on timing and wordplays. There are stories about meetings and second chances, break ups and make ups, new and old flames, and the madness that is called bad customer service.

"Once on This Island" is a Treasure of a Tale
10/7/2012
Storytelling matters. And nowhere else was this more apparent than in the hauntingly beautiful musical "Once on This Island" performed by Marist theater this past weekend. Part folklore, part history, and part tragedy, this production's imaginative staging, gorgeous music and fine cast brought to life a peasant island village, a young woman's journey made thorny by the gods, and ultimately a new way of thinking about social hierarchy.
