RJ Theatre's Fall & Spring Productions

Regis Jesuit Theatre was proud to present Bram Stoker's Dracula, a thrilling adaptation of the classic gothic horror novel set against a Victorian backdrop of eerie castles, graveyards, asylums and mist-shrouded landscapes, as its fall production. The show ran for one weekend only in late October/early November and received rave reviews. 

Next up, RJ Theatre will present Disney's The Little Mermaid as its spring production. Performances are March 28-29 and April 4-5, 2025.

FAQs

List of 7 frequently asked questions.

  • How can I contact the box office?

    You can email questions about box office tickets to RJ Theatre Director Richard Merkling at rmerkling@regisjesuit.com.

  • How many shows does Regis Jesuit perform each year?

    Generally two - a fall play and a spring musical. In years where there is interest, there may be an additional student-directed production in the late spring.

  • Is theatre only for experienced actors and/or crew members?

    NO! Everyone is welcome. No experience is necessary. There are all types of opportunities both on and off the stage including set design, costumes, makeup, props, sound, lighting, building, painting, publicity, house management, etc.

  • Does everyone get a part in the show?

    Our goal is to have as many students involved as possible. That said, there is no guarantee that all who audition will get a part. However, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone to participate either on stage or behind the scenes. Being on the technical crew involves all aspects of putting a show together from set design to the finished stage project. Through this format, students on the crew will gain invaluable experience in all areas of stage production. Their support is critical to the success of each production.

  • What other theatre opportunities are there at Regis Jesuit?

    All Drama Club members are eligible to participate in the Colorado Thespian Conference (ThesCon) in December. There are also occasional collaborations with other groups/events within the school, as well as with outside organizations such as long-time RJ partner Cleo Parker Robinson Dance.
