Nazareth Academy High School's Theater Department has a lot to offer. With a "Theater in the Round" experience, the audience can really see a beautiful musical come to like once a year on the Nazareth stage. In October 2007, the school's production was The Sound of Music. The show was beautifully done with a simple set and wonderful orchestrations. This Rodgers and Hammerstein classic brought everyone to their feet at the curtain call, with a standing ovation every night.^{[citation needed]}
