The Theater renovation began in October 2011, when workers removed the interior walls of Ingalls Hall a single story structure built in the 1950s that previously housed a small art classroom and theater space.
Sound and lighting equipment, the seating, and other interior finishing materials are currently being delivered.
The offer to inscribe a donor plate for $295 was recently published in the Fall/Winter edition of Vista magazine which goes out to parents, alumni and donors.

The new 1,800-square-foot theater accommodates theater and music rehearsals as well as costume and prop storage, with seating for 130. Because some of that seating is removable, the facility  also serves as a venue for the school to hold classes, seminars, or campus wide staff meetings in a modern and functional setting.
The renovation also includes a new entrance with hardscape and landscape, a new Mission- style roof, energy-efficient windows, and a new HVAC unit.

The theater was completed before the start of the 2012-2013 school year.
