Musical Director Announcement

We have found a new director for Saint Agnes School’s 2025 Spring Musical! Ms. Christina Malloy brings to the task nearly a decade's worth of experience in theatre arts and youth ministry. Most recently, she directed Missed the Boat Theatre’s second production of Catholic Young Adults: The Musical right here in the Helene Houle Auditorium this past summer.


In her work as Youth and Young Adult Coordinator at St. Jude of the Lake in Mahtomedi, she has already met and worked with several Aggie families. She writes, “I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to become a valuable member of the team and to contribute toward the growth of the theatre program at Saint Agnes!” Please welcome Ms. Malloy to the Saint Agnes family! The announcement of the specific show and audition procedures will happen in January. You can reach out to Ms. Malloy to welcome her and offer your support by email: musical@saintagnesschool.org.
