Mount Madonna School in Action

Mount Madonna School Voted Best of Santa Cruz

Dear Mount Madonna School community, We are thrilled to share that Growing Up in Santa Cruz and their readers have voted Mount Madonna School the Best Private School, Best High School, Best Middle...

Join Hanuman, the monkeys, Prince Rama, and Prince Lakshmana on June 4th through 7th at the Mexican Heritage Theater in San Jose, CA on their journey to Lanka in their quest to rescue Princess Sita in the 47th Mount Madonna School “Ramayana!”, a musical theater production adapted for modern audiences and replete with lively action, dazzling costumes, humor and universal life lessons.

The “Ramayana!” is an annual event in which the entire student body takes part. This magical theatrical production of drama, dance and song has been entertaining audiences for more than 46 years. Mount Madonna School students of all ages work their way through a variety of roles as dancers, singers, monkeys, demons, and martial artists until they finally emerge as leads in their high school years. A community-built supporting cast of parents, teachers, alumni and Mount Madonna Center staff take on the roles of prop makers, costumers, makeup artists, technicians, musicians, stage crew, and concessionaires. This makes the “Ramayana!” our largest school event of the year and the longest-running production of this epic tale in the western hemisphere.
