There are also various publications that students can work on, such as the newspaper (The Owl) and yearbook (The Regian) as well as several magazine publications dedicated to debate, sports, and the arts, including The Edge and The Crow. Regis Repertory stages a musical in the fall and a drama or comedy in the spring, relying on the efforts of over 90 students in the cast, stage crew, business staff, and band. Recreational clubs include the Flag Football club, the Billiards Club, the Games club, the Anti-Gravity juggling club, the recently founded Rock Music Club, and various cultural and special interests/political clubs, and more.
