The Cape and Sword Drama Society is a student club that provides the St. Joseph's Prep community with two theatrical productions each academic year - usually a play in the fall and a musical in the spring.

We strongly encourage that students of any grade level (including girls at any of the Prep's many sister schools) who are interested in being involved to contact us.

Mission Statement
The mission of The Cape and Sword Drama Society of Saint Joseph’s Prep is to provide vibrant opportunities for students to engage in all aspects of producing theatre, and for the students to present their school community with dynamic entertainment.

The Cape and Sword hopes to follow the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis, in that it strives to nurture the talents of all individual students, in whatever area of theatre those talents may be (acting, singing, stagecraft, music, etc.).

Jesuit education has its very roots in theatre, and the earliest Jesuit curriculum included drama.  (According to the Jesuit ratio studiorum of 1586, “theatre could be a forceful agent for stirring pupils’ interest in learning.”)  In keeping with this tradition, The Cape and Sword hopes to further the co-curricular life of the school, and provide an exciting outlet for Prep students to experience and to appreciate the performing arts.

Finally, in the great Prep tradition, and following the Jesuit mantra of age quod agis (do well whatever you do), The Cape and Sword’s mission is always to strive for excellence.
