St Huberts High School
The St. Hubert Theatre Players is an extracurricular group of very dedicated, kind, and passionate students. The students at St. Hubert are joined by various schools such as Father Judge High School and Holy Ghost Preparatory High School to create our Fall Musical every year. These students participate in all aspects of theater whether it be on or off of the stage. At the core of our group we strive to create friendships, confidence, and the most welcoming environment that we can through our rehearsal and show process each year.
