THEATRE
The Boot and Buskin Theatre Club
Founded in 1949, Boot and Buskin is the oldest theatre group on campus and is the primary vehicle for student theatrical activity. There are three mainstage faculty-directed productions each year with participation open to students in all majors. A student staff of 10-12 provide management and technical support to these shows as well as for other events.
Major Arcana
Great theatre challenges us, inspires us, and moves us. It calls us to look at ourselves and at our place in the world, and to consider how we can best realize our fullest potential. Perhaps most critically, theatre teaches us. To that end, the goal of Major Arcana is theatre of the students, by the students, and for the students and Le Moyne community. Its goal is to provide students with the opportunity to participate in all areas of a theatrical production and to engage them in the theatrical community of Central New York. To accomplish this goal, students produce, direct, and manage all aspects of any Major Arcana production.
No Scripts Attached
This student-run troupe is open to everyone with an interest in creating original improvised and devised works.
Le Moyne College Symphony Orchestra
The LCSO boasts full instrumentation (featuring strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion) and performs multiple concerts both on and off campus each academic year. The orchestra performs music from all genres, including classical, film, pop, and everything in between.
Le Moyne College Rock Ensemble
The Le Moyne Rock Ensemble explores the world of rock music from 1955 to the present. Students listen to, discuss, and arrange songs, in addition to collaborating on original songwriting. Rehearsals culminate in a public performance.
Le Moyne College Jazz Ensemble
Performing concerts at the end of each semester, the Le Moyne College Jazz Ensemble aims to replicate the classic big band sound (think Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, etc.). Instrumentation consists of saxophones, trumpets, and trombones (with an occasional flute or clarinet) and a rhythm section of piano, bass, guitar, and drums.
Le Moyne College Jazzuits
Specializing in vocal jazz repertoire and songs from the Great American Songbook, the Jazzuits are very active with performances on and off the Le Moyne campus as well as participating in jazz festivals and workshops.
Le Moyne College Joyful Noise
There are times when we are all called upon to make a joyful noise. The Joyful Noise Music Ministry Club does just that, providing music at liturgical events whenever called upon, both on the Le Moyne College campus and in the community at large. In recognition of the College’s Jesuit tradition, Joyful Noise aims to educate the whole person by providing members with the chance to learn more about themselves through song, as well as a chance to give back to the community.
The Le Moyne College Singers
The Le Moyne College Singers specializes in musical theatre and contemporary repertoire. It is open to singers from the entire Le Moyne community including students, faculty, and staff, and performs multiple concerts throughout the year.
The Le Moyne College Chamber Singers

DANCE
The Le Moyne Student Dance Company
Dance is a form of exercise – and self-expression. It has been called “the hidden language of the soul.” The members of Le Moyne Student Dance Company know this, and live by it. The dancers undertake a variety of styles, including jazz, modern and tap; create their own choreography; and hold public performances on campus. Their efforts are buoyed by the regular dance classes that are held at Le Moyne, and their artistry lifts up those around them.
Dolphin Steppers
Step is more than a form of dance. It’s a means of self-expression. The Dolphin Steppers use their entire bodies – from their feet to their hands to their voices – to convey what is on their minds and in their hearts. The Steppers are performers. But more than that, they are a family, part of a proud tradition of stepping that spans the globe.
Le Moyne Dance Team
Who’s got school spirit? The members of the Le Moyne College Dance Team sure do! These talented performers bring energy, spirit and creativity to their performances at men’s and women’s basketball game, firing up the crowd and the student-athletes. In addition to performing regularly at games, the team practices multiple times a week in the dance studio and gym. Come on and join us.
