The final weeks of the fall term brought the Proctor community together to witness student learning across disciplines – from the Fall Term Art Show and music performances to Innovation Night presentations.

This year, Proctor's buildings will house a living art museum, with works by Mexican Indigenous artist Inkpa Mani, nature photographer Marc Beerman, photographer Brandon Cabral, and student pieces spanning three decades displayed in the library, dining hall, and public spaces across campus.

Over the course of the academic year, we follow each student’s progress - and witness the combination of struggle and triumph, frustration and joy, and ultimately pride that emerges as they engage deeply in their own learning journey. 

The Proctor theater program brings Shakespeare's beloved comedy to life as fairies, lovers, and woodland creatures transform the Norris Family Theater into an enchanted forest where chaos and comedy collide.

Performing arts students, faculty, and staff have poured countless hours into bringing the darkly comedic world of Little Shop of Horrors to life, from mastering complex musical numbers to creating stunning technical elements.

Students across Proctor's visual arts studios immerse themselves in hands-on artistic pursuits from ceramics to metalworking, guided by instructors who help transform challenges into growth opportunities. This commitment to arts education as fundamental rather than optional fosters creativity, resilience, and cultural awareness.

Music Director Garrett Gleason is crafting a program that balances traditional training with modern production skills, while building community through varied live performances. His approach encourages non-musicians to engage with performances, creating a culture where both performers and audiences feel connected.

Proctor's Performing Arts Department is thrilled to present Lost in Yonkers as its fall play production. Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama explores the complexities of family dynamics and resilience, focusing on two young brothers navigating life with their stern grandmother in 1942 in Yonkers, New York.

Art performances and athletics were at the center of this weekend’s Holderness Day festivities, but in reality, it was Proctor’s culture that was on display.
