IHA’s Performing Arts Department was pleased to produce and perform Rainbow Fish as this year’s Children’s Theatre show for area elementary school students on May 12, 2025. The beautiful performance showed the children that it’s better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful. 

Members of the Theatre Arts class and their teacher, Mrs. Maureen Layng, produced and directed this special performance for our grammar school friends from Academy of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Visitation Academy, St. Margaret of Antioch, Academy of Saint Paul, and Our Lady of Mercy Academy.

After the show, IHA students signed autographs for the children. Thank you to all the students and teachers for joining us. We loved sharing our performance with you!
