[quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about private schools, but I know that The Hewitt School has a strong drama program. It is an all girls school.

Historically, St Jean Baptiste (a Catholic Church) had a strong theatre program; iniitally it was "the" place for French language theatre in NYC when St. Jean's congregation was made up of French immigrants.  So, the Church has an unusually good theatre space.

Nowadays, it has an arrangement with Hewitt. The school rents the theatre during the week and on a few weekends. The rest of the time the theatre is used by the St Jean Players and other off-Broadway theatre companies, especially York theatre, a professional theatre company known for its musicals.

In any event, access to this space gave Hewitt a much better theatre than most. Hewitt is sort of second tier among the NYC private schools. IOW, among girls schools it ranks below Brearley, Spence and Chapin, but it's probably as good academically as any of the others. My understanding is that it has distinguished itself from the others by having an unusually strong performing arts program.
