The new performing arts center, the impressive center piece of the recently completed Founders Hall, did not fail to awe guests new to Saint John’s and familiar to the school on the night of its grand opening.
The Robert R. Jay Performing Arts Center opened in with a touch of Broadway as alumni, benefactors, families, teachers, and friends of Saint John’s High School walked the red carpet under search lights leading into the atrium of Founders Hall. 350 invited guests enjoyed a cocktail reception in the Remillard Family Atrium before filling the new theater space for a show unlike any the school had seen before.
Monsignor Michael Rose ’73 blessed the theater before Dr. Jeffrey Jay '76 ceremonially cut the ribbon in front of the performing arts center’s doors. Once seated, the audience was treated to several numbers performed by the Saint John’s Band & String Ensemble.
